Genuine Informed Consent

I received this ACS link:

http://www.everydayhealth.com/breast...ntion_20090728

This is my response sent to the ACS:

The single most effective thing that would be helpful in dealing with sexuality for most breast cancer survivors would be for the American Cancer Society to provide the patient and the oncologist a list of very specific questions to discuss, one that thoroughly covers genuine informed consent for cancer therapy with a precise description of the possible effects on sexuality. The damage that is being done by medical providers and the American Cancer Society by not making this happen prior to therapy is very traumatic. Providers will generally advise men with cancer about possible effects, but when it comes to women, it is "just menopause". Please quit being codependent and coy, and MAKE the list and distribute it to patients and oncologists.
