The consequences of not adhering to cancer regimen:


''You should take your meds as directed by your doc so that the meds control your conditions better.


I know that sometimes it is dificult to remember taking your medication, but you would not want to see consequences such as:


1) worsening condition


2) increase GP visit/hospitalisation


3) health care cost


4) or mayb the meds will not longer working for you (treatment resistance)
Reply:This depends on a large amount of factors. Including what kind of cancer they have/had, how old they are, how long they have been in treatment, etc.
