When I was diagnosed and had discussions on treatment options, the consensus was to hit it all guns blazing. I had induction chemo and the full chemoradiation treatments.

My belief was consistent to do everything possible to nuc the bastard as hard as humanly possible. I did NEVER want to look back and think what if. We did everything possible to obliterate it from my body.

If I were facing a similar situation now, my core beliefs remain steady. Do all you can to kill the bastard short of killing me! Let's get it on! Do or die, no other options. But this is a warrior talking so adjust to your own taste.

I hope you find the path that is as clear today as it is when you look back.
