Hi Greatlumpo

Making treatment decisions is never easy is it.

I'm not a member of this forum but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies. I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also post this in the ovarian cancer forum, which I can see you've posted in before, as there'll probably be women there who have been in a similar situation to you.

Wishing you all the best with whatever you decide to do.

Hi. I have secondary lymph node cancer in my abdomen and chest and have not been offered any treatment. Only you can decide about the offer of chemotherapy. My general rule throughout my cancer journey has been to accept whatever is offered but, as many of us know, chemotherapy is not nice. If it is of any help my adjunctive chemotherapy was particular unpleasant but I would still make the same choice, even knowing what I know now.

Whatever you decide you have my best wishes.
