Understanding Recurrent and Metastatic HPV-Positive Head and Neck Cancer

Advance Directives

Article

Advance directives are a powerful way to take control of healthcare choices.

These documents allow you to outline preferences for medical care and specify end-of-life wishes. These documents can also be a way to appoint loved ones who you would like to help with these decisions, such as a healthcare proxy (someone to make decisions on your behalf, if you cannot). As cancer treatments can involve aggressive treatments and/or complex medical management, having advance directives ensures that your desires regarding treatment options and end-of-life care are clearly communicated.

Possible treatments other than surgery

Discussion Topic
General NSCLC

My healthcare provider has been monitoring some nodules since 2016--GGO, and now a sub-solid nodule that has increased 6 mm in 2 years from 1.6 cm to 2.1 cm. Dr. says I'm too old for surgery (88 yrs. old) and wants me to decide if I want to go through chemo or do nothing since the cancer is slow growing. Afterall, at my age, I could die from other causes, anyway! No idea what type of lung cancer and won't have a needle biopsy unless going for chemo. No mention of possible immunotherapy or other therapies. My question is: What are the options of treatment for someone my age?
