Hi I start chemo on Monday. My oncologist didn't mention it was palliative chemotherapy. Does this mean my chances are slim. No one told me 

  • That’s a question for your oncologist I’m afraid  

    Palliative chemotherapy is offered to extend life and make the patient feel better for a while  

    I wish I could offer a better explanation  

    Pmease do ask them to explain everything you don’t understand
