I'm so sorry to hear your news Emma--but palliative chemo certainly enhanced my quality of life, to the extent that I am considering some more starting in March!
I agree, pain control is vital--I'm still working on that one!

Your reaction, as a family, to the news and your plans for how to live it now to the full bodes well for your future coping.
Having time together, living, loving and laughing have got to be the most important things and I applaud your decision to do just that!

I shall have you all constantly in my thoughts, Emma and you will continue to receive the best support from this site.

Love, Brenda x
