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. #cancer #health #healthcare »»» Subscribe to CBC News to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/1RreYWS Connect with CBC News Online: For breaking news, video, audio and in-depth coverage: http://bit.ly/1Z0m6iX Follow CBC News on TikTok: https://bit.ly/3TnHioe Follow CBC News on Twitter: http://bit.ly/1sA5P9H Find CBC News on Facebook: http://bit.ly/1WjG36m Follow CBC News on Instagram: http://bit.ly/1Z0iE7O Subscribe to CBC News on Snapchat: https://bit.ly/3leaWsr Download the CBC News app for iOS: http://apple.co/25mpsUz Download the CBC News app for Android: http://bit.ly/1XxuozZ »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» For more than 80 years, CBC News has been the source Canadians turn to, to keep them informed about their communities, their country and their world.
