Why ???

My oncologist here in the U.S. is the smartest person I have ever met. He is kind and caring and just generally perfect.

I saw him last week for a twice-yearly visit and talked to him about PRD. Told him all that is done in the UK, doctors who specialize in this "curse", clinics for people with PRD. He was very interested in all that I said, but in the end, he wondered why all this attention and these resources are being given to something that is basically untreatable. He did not say it in a mean way, but was genuinely puzzled.

Oh, well......
