To Chemo or not to Chemo

[DontTreadOnMe]

So I will end with this. Knowing what many of us know, even if not believed but are aware of, would your choice if you didn't have one, be directed by what you have learned, shared, and been informed of if the time came? I never really considered it myself, and have written a living will, but many of my choices will I am sure be swayed by what I have learned over the years, and be misunderstood by those who don't subscribe to my thoughts and research.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I thought maybe by asking those in our community their thoughts, that I in fact may see things in a different light.

Peace, NRE

I am very sorry for your loss, NGE.
Your story touched my heart quite strongly.

My father was diagnosed with an aggressive lung cancer in September of 1988.  It was behind his heart they said.  They couldn't see it they said.  And by the time they did....

Chemo was started and like your husband, my dad lost a lot of weight.  He was only about 170 to start with and even though I am a woman, I bet I could have carried him towards the end.
Then end came in January 1989.  Not even 5 months later.

Like you, I question the use of Chemo.
If I had to make that decision myself, I would give hard thought to NO chemo.  I've had over 30 years to think about it.
