If I were diagnosed, I wouldn’t know what to do, because it DOES seem like all the suffering is from the treatment, not the disease. Getting sick from the chemo, losing their hair, having mastectomies, etc., etc.
I’m a cancer survivor. My cancer was diagnosed at Stage 1 and all I required was surgery to remove my left kidney. That was a no brainer for me. If I were diagnosed with another cancer at stage 1 or 2 I’d probably opt for treatment, but at Stage 3 or 4 I’d focus on enjoying my remaining time with my friends and family.
