When having children that depend on you it makes a difficult decision even harder. I cant say I have been in your exact situation but I was facing a choice of fighting or packing it in when I was diagnosed with OC for a third time in 3 years. I almost quit and let nature take its course. I also have had spots on my lungs for the past 7 years. Luckily the 'spots' have not changed at all so my doc isnt concerned. The members of the forum helped me to understand even against the odds, I couldnt just quit until I gave every option a try. I hope you will continue to fight even if you have limited options.
Please keep posting. We all care and worry when one of our own is sick. No matter what path you choose, we are here to lean on. Feel free to vent if you feel the need. We're in your corner.
Best wishes
