Conclusion
[Narrator]
To sum up what we have been talking about, making decisions about your cancer treatment starts by remembering that you have a choice in your attitude about cancer. Learn to identify how you like to make decisions. Consider getting a second opinion to help you make a decision. Learn how much time you have to decide on a treatment plan. Weigh the pros and cons of any decision about cancer treatment. Don’t base your decisions only on survival statistics; you are an individual, not a cancer statistic. If any complementary or alternative therapies seem attractive to you, learn all that you can about them before making the decision to try them. If you haven’t given much thought to the decision-making process before, you may want to review this program to strengthen your understanding. The principles provided can help you make sound decisions about treatment – decisions that can serve you well after your cancer diagnosis.
This is the end of Program Three in the Cancer Survival Toolbox, entitled Making Decisions About Cancer.
