I tried in a thread that I created, to ask Cancer patients about their feelings on how they decide treatment. Someone felt the need to change the topic on me, and give a very long sppech to everyone but me.
All I want is to know how you feel as a patient, in making decisions regarding your cancer treatment.
I am a caregiver, and while I have learned to accept, I do not always understand my Mom's decisions. She is a Stage IV Colon Cancer by the way.
Do you do the research?
Do you let the doctor decide for you?
Do you feel a continuous need for chemo, or do you like to take breaks every now and then?
Any information you can give me on a personal level would be appreciated.
