Stopping Chemo updated

Six months, six years.

Six months is a ball park figure. I know someone who was given six months, and lived on and on for years.

We all want to be that person. I Pray you are that are that person.

Blessings to you and your family.

I hope the lower dose is more tolerable for you. I'm glad the onc was optimistic about you getting to remission. Everyday is a choice for all of us. Good luck, I hope you are feeling better now.

Dear Vicki

I had stopped chemo a few weeks ago, my liver blood tests were coming back worse every time and I decided I'd rather die a slower cancer death then a quicker liver death.  My Onologist had a talk with me two weeks ago and convinced me to go back on it, he said my PT scans showed great improvement and he had contacted the liver surgeon to meet with me.  He said when my liver functions get too elevated we can stop chemo for a couple of weeks and start back on again.  

I too changed my mind and went back on the chemo.  Doing either, the stopping or continuing is a hard decision, and I just wanted to let you know you aren't alone, and I too did the same.

We can always hope to hang in there for the next big advancement in the cancer fight.  I had started researching what they were doing at a Pennsylvania University where they have been testing on humans a new trial of using your altered genes that target the cancer, it sure sounds hopeful.

You have our complete support Vicki.
