What do you think?
I read a study (an analysis of the meta-study) showed no significant increase in cancer risk associated with this medicine.
There are few studies that showed a slightly increased risk of cancer was, but it seems that the jury is still here.
It seems that the benefits of this drug outweigh the possible increased cancer risk.
Of course, this does not mean much to his wife personally. There are several reasons why a person develops cancer. Age is an important factor - the risk for all types of cancer increases with age.
I think it is that we also deal with this type of cancer pain to their other medical problems. I hope the treatment is effective for her and God bless you to be there with her in this difficult time.
I hope they both help and support they need.
All the best for the future.
