This is the new transcript form Dr Louise Newson’s podcast after I challenged her for dangerous, incorrect info about chemo for breast cancer. She said she would change it. She hasn’t. She’s left it in and tagged on a vague explanation, which is wrong. We ALWAYS use NHS Predict or an equivalent to work out the benefit of chemo, and it’s highly unlikely that an oncologist would recommend chemo if the benefit was only 2% She could have said that chemo is generally only given if the benefit is 5% - as I said in my original tweet yesterday, and that for many women the benefit is much higher, and not made chemo sound quite as scary or unnecessary. But she didn’t. My worry is that if someone stops listening after the first false statement, they won’t hear her justify it and could go on to refuse chemo.
