I have decided to surrender to chemo, or at least that's how it feels. I have been experiencing a lot of pain and discomfort from the cancer that the chemo will hopefully help with but of course it comes with its own pain and discomfort.
I want to try to start with just the pump but I haven't had that conversation with the dr yet. Tomorrow my daughter starts kindergarten so that's what I'm focusing on. I have a scan Wednesday to get a baseline of where all the tumors are before we start.
I guess my thought is that I can use chemo to stay alive until a good trial comes along or a miracle.
I have never asked the dr how long I have left. I feel like its bad to get those numbers in your head. I do know that the chemo prolongs your life an average of 2 years and that's how long It's been since I got diagnosed. Every day is a gift.
