An important opportunity to determine how you will spend your remaining time.
A friend with stage 4 liver cancer from colon cancer spread, is doing a moderate chemo every other week and is still working (office work) after two years.
Another former colleague did a clinical trial in NY and never came home from his first treatment, nor did he regain consciousness enough to put his affairs in order.
My sister left her car in the hospital parking lot, declined surgery, went straight to Hospice and held court for three weeks before she passed away.
So the choice is up to you.
My son was given a terminal diagnosis in 2019. He didn’t want to go so he has been doing experimental treatments, clinical trials and such. He hasn’t been able to live independently for years so he lives with me. I became a nurse/caregiver. He knows he can’t be cured and it will eventually get him but all the research will help others.
My wife has been dealing with two kinds of cancer for years. In remission but that can change quickly.
I don’t really know what kind of fight I would put up. The treatments are miserable and quality of life is diminished.
A friend of mine got cancer and declined all treatments. He lived the way he wanted for 10 years before it got him.
