Odds are very poor. Survivability stats after 5 years.

Hi Cheekkat 

You could call the Macmillan help line and have a chat with them. 0800 808 0000. 

They could help work through with you how you want to proceed as it’s so individual. 
My mum was give a 6% survival rate at 67 and also a one in five risk of death with one operation but lived to 82 . She always considered herself a statistic of one .

However she did endure a lot , but she also enjoyed a lot and that’s a decision only you can make . However it is sometimes good to have an independent person to talk to and they can help arrange that .

I think it brings a lot of anger and disappointment. But I do hope you can find someone to chat things through with so you can find the right path for you  

I used to hate these appointments and was always glad when a few days later we could find a place to park it and move forward   . I know they have a duty of care but it felt quite overwhelming at times .

Take special care ,

Hi Cheekkat, Do not be angry because you are weak and sick, I was two years ago, very weak and sick and I know like you it is not a good feeling.   Can I just say I volunteer at my local Hospice, and today I have met with two lovely ladies who know their time is limited, but they are so comfortable and loved and cared for, nothing and I mean nothing is too much for the Dr's and nurses, and all the staff that work there.    Now, that is not you, sounds like they can treat you and hoping that with treatment you will have many more years left, so go for the treatment, if you feel you can stand it? But, I can understand if you have had enough, and will take your chance, it  is a difficult decision...xx

No wonder that you're angry! Anyone would be. 

Decisions on treatment are very personal and you have every right to decide what you do and don't want. 

However, 68 is really not that old and you are not a statistic. I suggest you use the support line provided by court. Then give yourself some time to move past the anger and find your calm center. This way you can be certain that your decision is truly what you want and was made for the right reasons.

Can you have your ovary removed and skip other treatment? I did that and was cancer free for 7 years without further treatment. I was 43 at initial diagnosis and 45 when it spread to my ovary. I have had it return 2 times since that spread to the ovary and it does not look good for me, but spread to an ovary is still considered oligometastatic spread, which has room for survival. 

Thank.you. I've been in contact with Macmillian.

Now you.have seen my new posts re metastases to.my liver, so.thats a new worry.
