A member asked:
What can i do to persuade my grandpa to continue on with his radiation cancer treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: On many factors. What is the expected benefit of the treatment? What side effects or difficulties is he having? Does he want to continue to live with treatment or be left to enjoy a certain quality of life? These are difficult questions to answer here with no knowledge of his medical history. Please go to an appointment with him to the oncologist to discuss this in detail. This is very important.
