Making Decisions

Making Decisions is designed to help you identify how you make decisions, how your style of decision making can work or be improved, and how you can weigh the pros and cons of deciding about cancer treatment. After listening to this Toolbox program, you will be better prepared to:

  • Identify how you prefer to make decisions about cancer and cancer treatment
  • Find out the benefits of getting a second opinion to help you make decisions
  • Identify how much time you have to make a decision
  • Weigh the pros and cons in making a decision about cancer treatment
  • Understand that you are an individual, NOT a cancer statistic
