Being able to discuss a treatment break
Updated:
Needing a pause does not diminish your effort or your hope.
Make your needs visible
You may need time to rest, plan finances or process feelings. Discuss with your clinician what a break would mean for medical timing in your individual circumstances and at your age.
The decision belongs to you
You should not feel pressured when considering continuing, pausing or ending treatment. Psychological support can help you discuss the decision if you wish. Someone else’s story does not create an obligation for you.
