I can't believe what she says : can one non-doctor person be in charge of its cancer treatment (she says "be in control" in the 6 first minutes) ? Last time I read about immune system/genetics it was super complex and required a ton of background. I would definitely not want to be in control on my treatment. The best I can do is double check some facts on a few forums, have a general feeling about who takes care of me but one has to admit that's not very useful (at best it reassures me on false ideas).

Also she uses the term "consumer" in place of "patient" several times. That seems wrong to me.

Not in charge of treatment maybe in charge of the cost benefit analysis of a decision. Most people just spend a lot resources for not much.
