I think we all think that at some point in the process. I hope that you decide to keep on fighting. Living even with all the many side effects has got to be better than the alternative. The human spirit is very resilient and you will find a number of things that you think you would miss are actually not that important. I know many who are no longer here that would give anything for the chance to keep on fighting. They sadly didn't have that option. I feel that it is up to the rest of us to keep up the good fight in their honor. However, it is certainly your own personal decision. Just want you to know that we will all be here to push you on should decide to continue with your treatments. Good Luck to you, Steve.
