Miss A.G. here!
Please know that your response to my very first communications with this service has meant the difference between: REJECTING CHEMO & ACCEPTING CHEMO. As I type, the LATTER is my current disposition.
Will happily fill you in more if you are willing and able but for now, I just wanted you to know HOW BENEFICIAL your response has been.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!

Hi,
I am very humbled by your post . Very happy to hear your story . As people weigh up the chemotherapy option I think it’s important to remember side effects can be treated , chemo can be reduced , changed or stopped so working with your team can assist with some aspects . If it was intolerable people can stop at any time .
However there is a group of patients who it works well for .
You also might like to read this post to help prepare .
Members have put all their tips in one place . My mum had a tough time but got a reduction the second year and the whole thing became tolerable so it’s important to speak up . However it did a fantastic job at shrinking the tumours .
Take care ,
Court
