Mr Outsider,

My NHS Oncologist advised me to have surgery for my cancer and I agreed. When I got home and thought about it I realised it was the wrong decision for ME and at our next appt I told him I wanted Chemo and Radiotherapy instead of his preferred method of treatment.

He agreed without batting an eyelid, which is what I would expect from any professional in the NHS. It is your decision to weigh up your options and change your mind as to treatments at any time. Of course, the earlier you decide the less stress you put on our beloved NHS.

Dave.
