The Facts
The Patient (“P”) was a 65 year old man. P has had lack of capacity throughout his life. P has learning difficulties and has autism. For the last 40 years P has lived in a care home; he often spent two weeks at a time with his sister. In the summer of 2014 P’s carers noticed a lump in the area of his right breast. He has been examined by doctors several time, they conclude that the lump is cancerous. P has not wanted surgery and therefore the diagnosis cannot be put beyond doubt until a biopsy is done. |
