Quality of Life or Quantity they asked me?
Hi all, I was quite set back by a hospital staff member calling me this morning to ask me some important questions regarding my three appointments at hospital tomorrow. First one 11am Radiation Dept. ...
I think it is a reasonable question, but the delivery was a bit off considering it was a phone call and you do not know what will be recommended. Advanced car planning is something that most of us neglect but it is a discussion we should all have when, or before, things start to go screwy. Some people want to do everything they can and will accept any treatment, regardless of the effect on their quality of life. Others would prefer not to.
One thing I would recommend is keeping any decisions about accepting or refusing treatment (assuming that is what it comes down to) to yourself until you are fairly sure what you want to do. Family/peer pressure can be intense and can make it very difficult to follow your own path if they disagree with you. Mxx
