The article missed the massive increase in work for creatives that's happened over the last 10 years. Being a influencer. 3.2M people earned more than $100,000 last year being a influencer, the combined earnings are between probably $25-50B in the US.
You really need to factor them in and their earnings in any discussion like this. It's still smaller than consumer spending on this stuff was before but it's the growing part.

Very sorry to hear this.
Have you checked out any international Clinical Trials? You can search a lot of these here: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ getting the filters right can be tricky though. I’d ask AI for some help looking for the right permutations of names for things.
I’d book a call with FCCT as well. They have a list of private vendors that can potentially help with genetic sequencing and a few other things. They also mentioned a service to me that helps you search for potential clinical trials.

Sneaky good advice!

Thank you for the thoughtful appreciation. Agreed on 'talk to someone in your age/strength bracket' for surgery.

Really good advice! There are so many benefits of the big centers, the largest one being speed. At MD Anderson I got a question answered within 20 minutes of my visit to a Dr that happened by him calling the pathologist. If that wasn't at a cancer center, it would have take days, or more likely, the question never would have been answered at all.

Yeah, while what I wrote was true the takeaway should have been something like:
- You should pressure test anything an AI says with your doctors, and anything a doctor says with AI.

Yeah I did not mean that as a indication to not trust AI. But rather to use it as a companion and pressure test things doctors say with AI and things AI say with doctors.

This is a good addition, although I have not joined one which is probably why I didn't include it in the list. I should find a group to join.
