Just my opinion but I'm sure not too many people who have to pay for it, have the the treatment. Cost itself is prohibitive even if we thought it might work. Which is so unfair. The insured get treatment and the uninsured don't. No one can affort those costs so they opt out.
But it could be a blessing in disguise since the procedure is so uncertain, with both risks and side effects. I thought of having it years ago but today even having insurance, I would be too afraid to try it. And I probably would have it recommended if I wanted it since I have exhausted all my options...Stargazer
