Your cancer your life - right to make your own decisions (difficulties in exercising your right to decide – conclusion)Having made your decision on treatment, another major difficulty may arise. The practitioner you prefer may not be able or willing to supervise the treatment of your choice. As a general rule, it is best if your treatment is supervised by a practitioner experienced in its use. Very sophisticated treatments such as radiotherapy can be given only by certain highly-qualified medical specialists (this is legally enforced). Any practitioner is entitled to refuse to supervise a treatment that he or she believes to be useless or unacceptably toxic, or significantly worse than another treatment. Thus, the practitioner with whom you feel most comfortable may not be able to supervise your chosen treatment. You may take this factor into account in making your choice, or a compromise such as I suggested earlier may work—you may be able to get the treatment from one practitioner and the emotional support and effective communication from another, such as your local doctor. *19/40/1* Cancer «Buy Generic Viagra» |
