Thank you for your kind words Donna. Only diagnosed a couple of days ago but cancer is inoperable and chemo would only slow it down a bit. Not afraid of dying but more concerned about making the most of the time left. Do not yet have a bucket or a list to go in it but it is early days.
hope you are doing OK
Kevin
Hi Kevin may I call you Kevin
The only thing I have on my list is to do what makes me happy on a daily basis, I try and do at least one kind act a day that makes someone else happy, if that happens I can smile to myself and be happy.
May I suggest you give some thought to having the chemotherapy, I know you say it will only slow it down but you never know what's around the corner treatment wise. the decision is totally yours of course, I just say this as your diagnosis is so new and given a little time you might like to try. I am treatable not curable and I'm 18 months on from my diagnosis I can't say it's been easy but my cancer is stable and I enjoy life as much as treatment allows.
Like you I'm not afraid of dying a focus on doing things that make me happy and making the most of my time. All that's important really is that you make decisions your are happy with. I hope you have plenty of friends around you that can help you enjoy your time.
Have a lovely weekend,
Donna
