Question : If someone has colon cancer and the only options are chemo or removal of the colon, can they deny treatment?
Would family and friends be shocked if they refused treatment? If it’s so bad the colon needs to be removed, won’t some people prefer just to die from the cancer?

The whole stoma thing… I couldn’t do it.

Chemotherapy alone is not going to bring the cure. Nobody can/will force you to have an operation if you don’t want it. But remember that having a segment of the colon doesn’t necessarily mean that you will have a stoma. Often the two ends of the bisected colon are simply anastomosed together. Most people who actually have a stoma live a happy life with it. Given the choice between a stoma and death, most people will chose the stoma.Unfotunately some alternative practitioners exploit peoples predjudices/fears and offer them worthless treatments.

Source please!!!

Fine, I read your source.

Congratulations, you found proof of a theme that is similar in both Universal Health Care and Privatized Health Care.

That theme is trying to save money. For private, it means increasing profits. For UHC, it means being able to do more with tax payers money.

But that’s not all, because your source article indicates that the UHC has a mechanism in place where their decisions can be appealed. Can you appeal a treatment choice with your HMO? I didn’t think so.

Of course, a wealthy person in either system could choose to pay for this treatment out of pocket, so once again, your article proves absolutely nothing other than that you are stretching.
