My my has small cell cancer in her esophagus and its aggressive and they say its incurable and inoperable they say the only thing that will give her time is chemotherapy she has refused it... what do you suggest any response will be appreciated
So so sorry your going through this heartbraking time with your mum ... cancer sucks big time ...
But as someone with cancer .. my opinion is, it's our cancer , ours to choose which path we take ... I'm sure your mum knows chemo could maybe give her a little time, but it would make her feel very weak and could have lots of side effects ... if she's been told it's not treatable and non operable , just maybe she's choosing quality over quantity ...
Cancer takes away our control... but in you letting her have that control back, will mean the world to her .. hold her hand ... walk with her ... make every day count .. put a lifetime of memories into the time she's given .ask her about her childhood... look through albums .. go for a coffee on good days .. just sit holding her hand , watch a film ...ask her if theres anything she wants to do .....I'm sure you wouldn't want to see her going through this treatment in your heart ... and if she did it for family because that's what they'd want , is that fare ...
I'm on my cancer journey... and my wonderful family have supported all my decisions ... while we discus things the last choice is mine ... so I'm doing that to ... making every day count ... living in the day .. and I'm doing it my way ... so I'm all for every cancer patient having the right to decide what they do or don't do .. there's no right or wrong way .. but supporting her now ...
My husband was diagnosed with esophagus cancer last april he went through chemo to try shrink tumor was 15cm when found and advanced but it didnt help one bit he wishes he never had the treatment as even to this day he sufers from the side effects.He is now terminal as its spread throughout his body .
I am so so so sorry to hear about your husband that is hart breaking ... my mums is 4cm and it at the bottom of her esophagus by her tummy she has frefused all "treatments"
