Wish the best for Sid! My father was unlucky with his TP53 mutation which resulted in AEL and he passed away suddenly. 100% fit to vanishing away straight in 8 months. It was pretty rough for me especially to see how these doctors (most of them but bot all) are so non-experimental in their attitude.

Sid is right, Staying alive is our own job and definitely what he is doing will give him and his loved ones enough hope to get through this and sometimes he eventually he will get through.

I guess experiments will get a doctor sued.

Certainly hospitals are in the business of minimizing liability while patients would prefer maximum survivability. Those are very different goals.

I assume you have been signing legal waivers left right and centre to be able to go through these unique treatments.

There are lots of waivers but the law prevents you from signing away liability for treatment.
