Physical symptoms are always real. We hope no one has to suffer in silence. Our ears are open to you. Preventive healthcare is extremely important. Informed decision-making is as vital in medical treatment as in surgical treatment. We are all in charge of our own lives. People have a right to change their minds regarding medical treatment. Second opinions are always an option. The "Correct" treatment varies from person to person, and may change over time. We all have the same amount of time; yours is as valuable as ours is. A team of caregivers is essential to provide the best care.
