Ending cancer treatment to focus on living | The Current

Alicia Mathlin felt like her body was no longer hers after several rounds of debilitating cancer treatment — so she decided to stop and focus on living her life. Matt Galloway talks to Mathlin about that decision and asks medical experts about the push for 'common-sense oncology,' which weighs the pros and cons of certain treatments against a patient's quality of life.

Matt Galloway cuts through a sea of choice to bring you stories that transcend the news cycle and expand your worldview. It's a meeting place of perspectives with a fresh take on issues that affect Canadians today. The Current is released daily, Monday to Friday.
