The Value and Importance of Not Postponing Joy
Educating your advanced cancer patients about the value and importance of not postponing joy. There is a tendency to avoid discussing the future, too far in advance, with your patients with advanced disease. The sooner we bring up the topic of not postponing joy, the better however. Patients may even say that they are planning on a family vacation to Disney World in 2 years. Your thoughts immediately go to estimating when she will be likely too ill to go but may not be verbalizing this to her. You don’t want to take away hope and burst that bubble. It however isn’t fair to the patient to be assuming that no response from you regarding such an announcement, or worse, saying that this sounds great, is doing her an injustice. Additionally, though she may still be living in two years and technically able to go to Disney World, she may very well be spending her time in the hotel room and not enjoying herself and her children/grandchildren doing park activities. Her goal wasn’t to be in a bed too weak to partake of this important family adventure. This is why a discussion about “Don’t Postpone Joy” is so important. It fits for many clinical settings too.

Lessons Learned from Your Patient's Family After Their Loved One Has Died
Our time spent with patients and their families should not end with the transfer of the patient to hospice care. The patient may even resist such a transfer, feeling abandoned by their medical oncology team. Treatment for treatment’s sake is really bad medical care. Doing an effective job of preparing the patient and family for end of life needs to be the ultimate goal as treatments begin to no longer work. Due to having no contact with families after the patients have died results in losing teaching moments for the team that provided her breast cancer treatment. There is great value in incorporating the family’s needs and understanding into the treatment planning process from the beginning so they are better prepared at the end of her life and beyond.

The Importance of Being Honest
Of everything we do for our patients, the most important thing we can give them is honesty. What you will learn from this module: Learn that being honest with patients about their disease and its prognosis is very important for patients to know so they can plan out the remainder of their lives. Honesty doesn’t take away hope; it helps the patient move through phases of hope. 50% of the time, doctors do not disclose the patients’ actual prognosis. Patients do not understand or know the difference between palliative chemotherapy and active chemotherapy treatments, unless they are told.  Teaching patients to be optimistic for as long as it is realistic, while having an end of life plan in place should be our mantra. Avoidance of honesty may be linked to an oncologist’s feelings of believing they have failed the patient by not being able to save or sustain their life.
