Description
Résumé:We tend to define pastoral care and medical intervention in very limiting terms. Too often we are more concerned with the delivery of the product than we are with the manner in which it is received. This paper looks at the experiences of a young woman with cancer and how she sought a certain personal component to the pastoral care she received and the medical treatments she was willing to accept. She fought to be treated as an individual, to be respected as a person with her own values, and to be given the right to make her own choices. This paper is presented from the patient's perspective.
