"I see myself as primarily a guide and advisor for my patients.  I think it's important to help my patients understand their disease and the possible treatment options and figure out what approach makes the most sense given their circumstances and priorities.  If I think you definitely need to do something I will tell you, but if I think there is more than one reasonable option I think it's important to have that discussion with my patient."
