I think what you're saying, then, is that there might be some alternatives down the road, but that we're putting a lot of money into this dubious pursuit when in fact we have a crisis right now.
That was made apparent by the news. Your organization, Dr. Urbain, has been clear about the catastrophe that is looming or is with us. Dr. Driedger mentioned the question about thyroid cancer. We just had news out of Quebec showing that they've run out of iodine-131.
Today we got the report on the wait times, and it says that in fact the median time for radical cancer care is “46 days or nearly 7 weeks”, and the majority of these treatments exceeded “the benchmark for curative cancer treatment of 4 weeks”.
So now we have that statistic coupled with the shortage of isotopes. How bad is it going to get? Can you predict? Can you project? Can you tell us how serious it really is?
