..but does it cause cancer.
"but does it cause cancer" is the new "but so does a handgun" comic.
I would trade cancer down the road for my joints working now :(
Genuinely one of the questions that is coming up more and more in healthcare is trying to figure out what cancer is okay to just live with. As in, the treatment would be more of an impact on quality of life vs letting the cancer develop slower than the person would die of other causes.
This is especially becoming more of an issue as we get much better at detecting cancer.
That's a Future You problem. You want this or not?
