Well after 9 months since the start of my treatment for base of tounge/ throat cancer the news is not good, unfortunatly despite chemo and radiotherapy (more pain than ive ever endured) it has now not only not cured it but it has spread to my lungs.
So im stage 4 with no hope of surviving this, i am refusing any life extending treatment as id rather not delay the inevitable.
Many people dont understand my choice but id rather not feel ill again just to get an extra few months.
My throats already sore again and i can feel it in my chest now.
Its time to make the most of the time i have left.
Lee, I’m so sorry. I’m sure you have considered all options put before you before coming to your decision. I will add though that I know a couple of forum members who did go on to immunotherapy. One is doing well and still posts here and another got a good three years. Yet others are on new trials.
I wish you peace and some quality time. These read like simply words but they are heartfelt. Xx

Sad read Lee.
My mum made a similar decision in 2016, and we spent the months she had left making some great memories; was a special time.
Quality of life over quantity is the right decision for many, so I completely understand your choice; enjoy yourself.
Metastatic SCC diagnosed 8th October 2013. Modified radical neck dissection November, thirty-five radiotherapy fractions with 2xCisplatin chemo Jan/Feb 2014. Recurrence on larynx diagnosed July 2020 so salvage laryngectomy in September 2020.

Bless you, Mike.
