all you have to do is drink soya milk and miso soup. the soya bean reduce the harmful cancer risk.

I believe you can refuse treatment but would be very unwise to do so. Also I am not 100% sure but I believe depending on your insurance and the hospital, they will look after for a short period of time. But if you refuse treatment then there is nothing they can do about it, and will probably release you from the hospital.

You have all the right to refuse the cancer treatment they offer you because if you ask the doctor to assure you that the treatment is going to make you all better and without any dangerous side effects, he/she will not be able to do so, therefore on this grounds you can refuse their treatment and they have the obligation to provide you with the medications to make your life more comfortable. Any way I have read many times that cancer patients that receive no treatment at all live longer than those that do. You never know you might get better on your own, our bodies are a wonderful creation able to heal itself all you have to do is give it what it needs to do it. Search the net, there are hundreds of people that have helped their bodies heal by detoxing and giving it nutrient rich foods. I give you here a few links to check http://www.gerson.org/ http://www.shanti.com.au/cleanses/gerson.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMdktdaReOw http://www.cancertutor.com/Cancer/RawFood.html God bless

YEs you have the right to refuse any treatment you want. yes the docters can keep you comfortable til you die. they will prob put you on hospice & hospice will give you pain meds & take care of your basic meds. however, if you try to refuse treatment for a child with cancer that has high survival rate...dctrs can take u to court..take custody away. So if you are an adult you can make any choice you want for your own body. \

You can if you want to. I would weigh all the options such as surgery, chemo, radiation, laser, ect and make an educated decision before you commit to your final decision. Usually when someone is not treatable and is terminal, the doctor will prescribe hospice. Hospice is a care center or ppl that come to your home that stay with you and help you and your family get through this rough time. They talk to you about dying and help your family prepare, plus they keep you painfree until the end. They will do everything possible to keep you comfortable. But before you decide, make sure you check all options out because cures come in strange places, and there are alot of new clinical trials and cures out there.

Yes you can refuse treatment. Think carefully before you decide. I've had Colon cancer and if I should get it again, I will refuse Chemo therapy. Although I am cured from the cancer so far, the Chemo I was given has made my life worthless. I have lost all my strength, cant sleep, my fingers and best part of my feet are numb etc etc. They have done all the tests available to find the reason for these symptoms but have come up with Nil. I know it was the Chemo without a doubt, because after the Operation and before the Chemo started I was very well. Remarkably so. Not too bad at the start of the Chemo treatment, but after the 8th I woke up the next morning and felt half dead and that was a year ago. So coming back to your question I personally would refuse treatment again in my case. But in your case it would depend on what type of cancer, how far it has gone, your age, your family etc. but if you are sure yourself you have the right to say no to all treatment. The doctors have sworn to treat people so I am not sure what they would do, if you refuse, but I am certain they would make the rest of your life as comfortable as possible. It also depends where you live. Wherever you are be brave and God bless.

Titch, be patient. Sometimes it can take a couple of years to recover from the long-term side effects of chemo. My onco. nurse warned me of this. She said it could be 2-3 years. Meanwhile, to me, it is worth being alive to experience the discomfort. Because along with some discomfort, there is the joy of living each day, laughter, love, good chocolate, friends, and electronic gadgets. No electronic gadgets when you're dead.

You always have the right to refuse treatment if you are over 18 (an adult). A parent may be guilty of child neglect if they refuse and the doctors believe the treatment will save the life of the child, but an adult is presumed to be able to make his or her own decisions. You can ask for medication that will ease any pain without receiving chemo or radiation.

If you are of legal age, you certainly can refuse cancer treatment. The question remains..WHY WOULD YOU? If caught in the very early stages, there's a very high chance that you can beat the cancer. If you are diagnosed with terminal cancer (detected, but it's too far advanced to really do anything) then most certainly Drs. would do whatever they could to make you comfortable.
