TREATMENT OF SYMPTOMS – SPECIALISED TREATMENT

What if your practitioner refuses to pay attention to your symptoms and behaves as though tests and anti-cancer treatments are more important than your comfort? In this case, I suggest you very seriously consider changing practitioners. This will be easiest for those of you who are not having any specialised treatment. If you are, it may still be possible to find a practitioner who can both supervise your specialised treatment and take care of you. If you can’t find such a person, you could consider continuing the specialised treatment under your original expert’s supervision, while seeing another practitioner for care of your symptoms. Your local general practitioner may be prepared and able to do this.

Yet another possibility is to stop your specialised treatment. Think carefully about the costs and benefits of continuing with it. To the costs you considered when agreeing to have it, you must now add the fact that your symptoms are being ignored. As a result, you are experiencing discomfort and inconvenience. This extra cost could be enough to tip the balance in favour of stopping your treatment.
