Dancing Around the Four Sides

When my brother was diagnosed with melanoma six years ago he refused further treatment after his surgery (and the further surgery the oncologist was pushing for even though it was against protocols for melanoma). Understanding and treatment of melanoma has advanced so much since then that he now feels vindicated in his decision not to be butchered again. There was a very long period of time - decades - when I felt that we weren't getting anywhere with cancer treatments but... It's a different world now.
