6 months, or maybe 2 years.
If I do nothng, my cancer will kill me in about 6 months. If I do chemotherapy, it MIGHT extend my life for 2 years. This cancer is incurable. I will also lose my hair and be dependent on others to drive me 2 1/2 hours each way to the treatment. The treatment lasts an entire day, and happens once every 3 weeks. It sounds horrible. I don't want chemotherapy. I've never wanted it. Am I a bad person to want my life to end sooner? I know I suffer from depression. This colors my decision. I do not have a family. No childeren or husband or grandchildren, 2 cousins I never see. 2 sisters. One, who is taking the brunt of all of this caregiving, right now. I hate having to make this decision.
