A sensible rule would be to distinguish tips to close friends and family from disclosures to work colleagues, social acquaintances and others.Insider trading stinks.

Survivors should feel no shame if they decide to accept a mediator’s offer, and they should not feel intimidated.If money is enough, the deal is good.
If more is necessary avoid the deal.
Justice is more than weregild.

Prostate Cancer Treatment Can Raise Dementia Risk
Reducing testosterone levels with androgen deprivation therapy, or A.D.T., more than doubles the risk of dementia."“Whether or not to use A.D.T. is still a risk-benefit discussion with a physician,” said the lead author, Dr. Kevin T. Nead, a resident at the University of Pennsylvania’s school of medicine. “This study is important and urges us toward future research, but I don’t think it should impact clinical practice.”"
I will worry about side effects when I have a diagnosis.
