Re:Things to know if you get cancer in 2026 on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @05:38PM (#50095722)
This is so grim. Why is this a list of things you need to worry about?

I had testicular cancer a decade ago (in Ireland). I found a lump, went to my GP, had a scan 2 days later, and surgery 12 later. Followed by chemo and a RPNLD as was needed.

I didn’t need to chase any doctors, I trusted every doctor I met (had I had AI then I wouldn’t have wasted time with them).

I got a second opinion, because why not, but they agreed with my onc.

Is this some very US coded list that isn’t relevant to my experiences in Ireland?

ps. I’m not sure why genetic testing is suggested here?

If is offered in a lot of tech companies in Ireland, and at least some in the UK.

It isn't needed in the same way, but it makes a lot of things easier. Get seen faster, get money back from visits, etc.

In the United States. Other counties have limits.

> During review of the article in what the journal refers to as “the provisional acceptance phase,” Fenter says in the statement, members of Frontiers’s research integrity team identified “a series of strong, unsupported claims based on studies with insufficient statistical significance, and at times, without the use of control groups.”

The statement continues: “Further, the authors promoted their own specific ivermectin-based treatment which is inappropriate for a review article and against our editorial policies. In our view, this paper does not offer an objective nor balanced scientific contribution to the evaluation of ivermectin as a potential treatment for COVID-19.”

Your country is not even 250 years old. There are older cities with better infrastructure.
