My mom had cancer that was treated. The official correct follow-up was to get checked to make sure it didn't come back every 2 years. At the 2 year check it was too late and untreatable. I no longer trust doctors/advisory panels and their 'statistically what's best' and never will again. It cost me my mom. I just want my mom back.

I'm sorry for your loss, but if it progresses that far, that quickly, it very likely would have killed her in almost exactly the same time frame even if you had followed her up every six weeks, which is why the "statistical best choice" is often to do things less aggressively.
