Just want to give you a {{{{{HUG}}}}} Joyce, Talk things over with your consultant, see if the good outweighs the bad regarding the treatment, and then base your decision on the facts and on how you feel to which road you want to take. Maybe your consultant can advise you on a support group for you to join to help you through this. Elaine x |

Joyce as everyone else has said only you know what is right for you. Its not being selfish to put quality first. My darling sister passed away at 38 from the side effects of all the drugs that she had been on for her cancer. I have extreme admiration for you and would like to add like many others that we are here for you. ((((((((((((((((gentle hug)))))))))))))))))))))). love Lin xxx |

((((hugs)))) Joyce, they must have been earwigging and they are for hubby's benefit. Were you ware of being depressed or are they assuming you have to be because of the illness? But no chemo??? Ann Glos |

Joyce I really wish that I could give you a real hug and make your decision easy for you. I doubt anyone could understand what you are going through because every persons dilema will be different according to their personal cicumstances. There is no wonder you are feeling low Much love Janetx |

its your choice. do what you feel is right the family will eventually understand. (read below). hope you make the right choice. my mum had breast cancer when i was 18mnths old (i'm now 25). the cancer came back a further 3 times. over the years she had everything from radium, to chemo to all sorts off tablets, they all workd at the time. however when the cancer spread to bone, nothing would help it so mum declined the chemo. at the time i thought she was being selfish, i was young and had a young son etc. but now, 3yrs after she died i can see why she declined it - it would have only helped her for a short time and she would still have been in pain etc. |

I don't think you are being selfish Joyce, you just know what feels best for you.....and you should be at peace with the decision you have made.... Perhaps your family feel that at least by having the chemo, it shows outwardly that things are being done to help ....but you know your own mind........keep strong....x sally |
