My dilemma

Only you can make this decision.  I couldn't have chemo as caught infection on first shot and nearly died - by the time I was physically well enough it was too late.  That was in 2007 and I had aggressive grade 3 breast cancer.  Fingers crossed I'm still here.  I hope there is someone on here in the same situation as you and you are able to thoroughly think this through.  I wish you all the luck in the world and hope you find peace.  Ann x

Hi boodle, I also have secondary b.c in my liver, had a bit in my bones that the chemo got rid of, and cancer in my uterus caused by tamoxifen.... First dx in 99 .....was told I only had 3 to 4 months to live in 08, when They found it had spread, since 08 I've had 8 fec 100 and 6 full dose taxotere 18 months after the fec finished, I know chemo sucks, it really does, but I'm still alive, since 08 I have finished my bucket list, I've celebrated my only daughter getting married then quickly pregnant so I could be a granny (grandchild to order lol) my 30 th anniversary, my 50th birthday and many more wonderful things, and the only reason I'm alive to see these things, is because, the chemo worked and I refuse to go! Ha ha, my doc says if I manage to last 2 years without anymore tumours that he'll try taxotere again, if not he'll try something else, but when you think that nearly 3YEARS ago I was supposed to be dead, the fact that he's talking like that is a miracle in itself.... My sisters bought me a plaque back in 08 I keep it in my kitchen..... It says "EXPECT A MIRICLE" and I do!

Only you know and can decide what to do, but when/if the cancer finally takes me, I will know that I done everything in my power to fight it...... I wish you all the strength you need, to do what you have to do

COURAGE......IS WHEN YOUR SCARED TO DEATH.....BUT YOU SADDLE UP ANYWAY

Love and hugs

Fight every step of the way, thats what I say.  The comments made by Lizg hopefully will give the strength to move forward to say "i want more time" .  Only you can make that decision but I hope that your journey to be pain free, no hiccups with the chemo and you come out the other side like liz.  Good luck and i send you loads of hugsxxxx
