Topographies of ‘care pathways’ and ‘healthscapes’: Reconsidering the multiple journeys of people with a brain tumour
Abstract
People diagnosed with brain tumours enter new and unfamiliar worlds in which they must make complex and previously unimaginable decisions about care, treatment and how to live their lives. While decisions are increasingly based around care pathways, these are embedded in values that often fail to accord with those of patients.
