Yes. The Notice of Privacy Practice, by federal law, does not have to be signed ("acknowledged") in order to receive treatment. Medical practice providers are only required by law to make a good faith effort to provide the notice. If a patient declines, the service provider must document the refusal with a reason why. Additionally, signing said notice does not "mean that you have agreed to any special uses or disclosures of your health records."

Accepting or refusing cancer chemotherapy is a personal choice. Most people accept chemotherapy when the odds are well in their favor (e.g. 85-90% remission rate five years after chemotherapy), whereas many people refuse chemotherapy in the advanced stages of cancer, especially lung, ovarian and pancreatic cancers - and when the odds are not in their favor (e.g. 1-5% chance of remission five years after chemotherapy, or 10-15% chance of remission one year after chemotherapy).
