Bunty has cancer.
She has undergone one program of chemotherapy and has been receiving HACC services due to her declining health needs. Bunty was very sick during the treatment, but her health gradually improved.
Last week Bunty was distressed to find out that her cancer is back. Her oncologist has strongly recommended a further chemotherapy program. If she does not have treatment she is likely to die within a month.
Bunty has decided not to have the second lot of chemotherapy – instead she wants to die at home. Her family are angry that she is giving in to the disease – especially as the oncologist has so strongly recommended further treatment.
Should Bunty do what her family and oncologist want her to do? Your response must be related to dignity of risk.
