A member asked:
What to do if i have an aunt, 30 yrs old, who is suffering from astrocytoma cancer. what should she do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tell her wishes: The one thing that she must do is make clear to those who care for her what she wants in case she cannot speak for herself. These cancers may be very slow-growing but they are seldom curable and are likely to cause death eventually.
