To Tell or Not To Tell

Many people in our town have cancer and don’t know it. It isn’t because they haven’t gone to a doctor or because they haven’t received the proper tests, it is because once a diagnosed of cancer is made family members do not tell their suffering loved one the news. They think it is better they do not know. Just today Jeff made a house call on a man with urinary problems. The family confided in Jeff that “grandpa doesn’t know he has prostate cancer”.
