[Avodah] FW: chemotherapy

[Rich, Joel]

Below you will find a portion of a comment to a Cross-Currents post and
my response.  As you can see, my response has received an extended
moderation period.  I have not received a response to my query to the
moderators so I thought I would ask the chevra their opinion on my
understanding of horrat shaah (BTW I assume the original commenter did
not really mean irrevocable but permanent)
