Sophia, I wish I could give you some good advice but I honestly don't know what I'd do in your situation.

I DO know if I were in your shoes I would want to know very specific info. about how much, on average, that specific chemo regimen has been shown to extend the life of people in my situation. 1 month? 6 months? A year? Two or three years? Then I would try to think hard about the trade off--X days of feeling siock from the chemo for a probably X days more life and see if that seemed worth it to me.

I really feel for you and how hard this decision is for you after all your battles. Do you have family around you to support you through this time?

Nelie
