Tyson,

For what it's worth....it sounds like you have evaluated the pros and cons of this decision quite fully. No one has the answers. And after all the research and questions, ultimately you have to make an 'informed decision' - - which in this case may mean to 'go with your gut feeling'.

RE: worthy...what is worthiness in this case? You are certainly ill enough to quality. You are determined enough to qualify. And since there are only 3 other patients ever...I think it is bravery more than worthiness that is the criteria.

And you, Tyson, seems like a very brave young man to me!!

Good Luck with your reboot.
