“It seems like the most important thing to both of you is having as much quality time together as possible. Keeping the cancer under control and minimising the symptoms. [Patient], you want to stop the chemotherapy regime which is making you feel unwell, whereas [family carer] you would prefer that [patient] continue on the chemotherapy as it has been keeping the cancer under control. With this in mind, I propose that we start on a different chemotherapy, one which is known to have fewer side effects”.
