Babette is an independent media and education company, not a medical provider. We do not diagnose, prescribe, or direct treatment. Our journalism and education are meant to help you understand your options and prepare for conversations with your care team, not to replace them. Some materials may be created with the support of artificial intelligence and should be reviewed with your medical providers before informing any care decision. All decisions about your care belong to you and your doctor.
