Hi there, I am looking for some advice.....not sure this is the best time to ask while everything is kicking off but I need the advice now.
i have just had 2 cycles of Carbo/caelyx chemo which totally wiped me out and gave me no quality of life. I got my scan results back yesterday and my cancer has progressed significantly, in old terms they would say I am “riddled” lots of tumours in my abdomen and around my liver and working it’s way through my lymph nodes. But it’s not in any major organs. So I am stopping this current chemo.
My consultant offered me weekly taxol and avastin as a treatment option but also gently said, we can stop treatment if you like.
I feel a bit beaten.....I don’t know how to decide what to do. Has anyone else been in this situation and how did they decide? I’ve been treated for this kind of cancer for 2 years and it seems to be winning.
I don’t have kids but I do have a nice life (before this).....I’m 49, I would like more time but not more chemo! I’ve had a second opinion and it was the same treatment option (actually I am lucky to be offered it!).
if anyone has any wise advice I would greatly appreciate it. Love heather xxx
