Sometimes there is a lot of pain when you decide to fight your lung cancer. Sometimes, there is only certain death that awaits you at the end of it. However, it is your call and not your doctors, how you wish to go about it. Theirs is to ensure that you are informed. The VAT that is, the video assisted thorascopy is less invasive but not as thorough as a thoracotomy for the treatment of a lung cancer. It does not actually allow complete lung examination to identify and remove metastases that are not detected by preoperative chest X-ray. If the doctor will use that on you, you will have to consent through and through otherwise, no dice. You understand. I have always had issues with doctor and all those strange names that they call illnesses and their treatments. Why don’t they just say it as it is? Why do they have to call a lung cancer a carcinoma when everybody understands it just the way it is? And all those strange names for the treatment life is hard enough living (and dying) with the condition. Some procedures for the treatment of a condition are more life-threatening that the condition itself. I mean, I don’t know what the doctor would say about this, but I would rather take my chances than let someone cut me up over a lung cancer. But you might think differently. You need to be involved in your own treatment for lung cancer and don’t let anyone enforce anything on you. Afterall it is your body; your life; your call. Remember that.
