Funny thing about the medical field is that, even among M.D.'s there can be folk wisdom that is not based on reality. My understanding is that cutting on cancer does not cause it to spread. GW

Honestly, I am not qualified to say what is correct. I know what I was told and when I researched it at the time, it seemed to me that there was evidence supporting my oncologist. I just typed “biopsy spread cancer” in both Google and Yahoo search engines and there are many articles supporting that biopsies do indeed increase the likelihood of cancer metastasizing. I added “Sloan Kettering” to the search and found some other articles. Some pretty well respected doctors and studies cited stating that it is in fact true. I know that if I had to go thru the same ordeal, I would not allow a biopsy and I would do everything in my power to be treated with BSD’s equipment. If that is a logical, who knows...

Also it is my understanding that in most cases once cancer is detected there little utility in rushing to treat it. Most likely once it is of a size to be noticed, it has been there many years. Either it has already metastasized or not, depending on whether it is the type of cancer to metastasize. GW

I think this is correct to an extent and inline with how it was explained to me. I think it was about a year from diagnosis to surgery and the only person that was in a hurry was me. They kept telling me the only things that can come from moving quickly are mistakes. However, I am a rather tough mentally and physically and I can say that it was especially draining emotionally. I cannot imagine how heavy a toll it has to take on people that are not as equipped to handle stress. That has to be accounted for and I am confident that patients given the choice will choose to be treated quickly... especially considering that the BSD equipment has proven to do no/minimal harm combined with increased efficacy.

But quick treatment does help the patient's morale probably, even if it does not improve outcome. Still one should not rush to a treatment plan. GW

I agree with the morale, as stated above. However, I think if you have something that you know is the best treatment and it will not make anything worse anywhere else in the body it is probably a good idea to rush. Almost like looking at a flat tire on your car... You would fix the tire, there might be a problem somewhere else in the car... But you know the tire is flat so you would fix it immediately. I know this is oversimplified, but it is my belief that BSD treatment should be the treatment plan much like a new tire is the treatment for a flat.

But you still have the status quo where any time a surgeon can get in easily enough and take out an organ or a chunk of flesh, tissue, or bone with the whole tumor in it, they will continue to do so. So you will have professional inertia (conservatism) working against BSDM, not to mention professional self-interest (how they get their money) working against eager acceptance of BSDM's tumor ablation equipment. But if it really works, at some point the dam will burst. Maybe BSDM should advertise on television so that cancer patients will ask their doctors about the treatment. GW

I totally agree... This is why I do not recommend the stock to people. I have already been in this for years. I have told several close friends and family and some of them are invested, but they have been made aware of the fact that this may take many years. I know they have the best product. I know it is a huge market. I just do not know when the market will be ready for the best product... Hopefully, I am still around when that day comes.
