    Yes you can refuse anything you want primarily because this is America.
    Cancer is a progressive disease so the symptoms get worse as the disease gets worse. The biggest problem with refusing breast cancer treatment is the unnecessary problems it causes you and those around you. The cancer will eventually break through the skin causing an ulcerated, oozing, unhealing, painful, bleeding area that enlarges over time and is so foul smelling you can smell it from 10-15 feet away.

    You can refuse treatment pretty much everywhere. The exceptions might be the mentally ill or retarded. It is likely that her doctors would recommend counselling with a psychiatrist.

    The other responder had it about right, rot and stink. But before that she would be able to live normally for a time. Some cancers will spread to other organs before they do a skin break through. Bones are a common one with breast cancer – spine, hips and ribs are the most usual and crippling fractures may result – then the person would be disabled.

    yes you can refuse treatment. some older people chose to live out their lives and never tell their families. chemo kills cancer cells but also kills your normal cells, so it boils down to survival of the fitest. who will survive, the cancer or you. some people believe that it’s just their time and chose to do everything they want to experiece before they go , where as a chemo patient would be sick , weak, and basically fragile watching life go by in misery with the hopes that they live to see tomorrow.

    I was wondering if, in America, you can do that? And what would be excepted?

    What would be accepted does not include the inaccurate use of simple words.

    To “except” something is to exclude it. To “accept” something is to include it.
