Survey on Decision-Making in Lung Cancer Patients: Can You Help?
Author
Howard (Jack) West, MD
My colleague, Dr. Laurie Gaspar, who is a radiation oncologist at the University of Colorado, worked with several patients, including those in the GRACE community, to develop a survey on decision making by lung cancer patients.  Are there things that physicians and patients can do to make the decision making process easier in some way?  The survey takes approximately 15 minutes or less to complete.    
 
Please consider taking the web survey through this link:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/lungcancerdecisions  
 
Dr. Gaspar and I will share the interesting results from this survey as soon as possible.
 
Thanks!

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.
