Hi I don't know if I'm allowed to do this 

My sister has breast cancer at the moment her drs refuse to treat her are they allowed to do that. She has a 7 year old son and I don't understand why they won't treat her I know covid is a terrible illness but cancer is also. Can someone suggest what we can do

    Hi Caztrace. Welcome to the forum.

    I am not a doctor, just a cancer patient who's been through the hoops a few times.

    If your sister is unhappy with her treatment, she can return to her GP to discuss her situation.  If the GP considers it appropriate, maybe it's possible to refer her to a different hospital.
