Not scared of death is this normal

Hello I was fighting stage 4 breast cancer spread in to my lungs since May 2019.2 weeks ago found out my chest is stable but its in my brain now.I am 43 and first very dissapointed because once is in the brain is end of story.Now I am going to.have 10 days radiotherapy and then i requested chemo tablets.Well I was full of hope.not anymore.I was laughing to the nurse today because I know I am going to die and radiotherapy is not going to help.I refused to take the steroids because made my life miserable.It this normal to laugh when you know you going to be dead soon?

  • It sounds like you have accepted  the situation  and that is admirable I think sometimes its easier for the person with the cancer to cope than our families enjoy the time you have and my best wishes to a brave lady

  • Thank you.even I am going to have treatment i dont think doctors wants help me.anyway I hope 10 radio finishes and leave me alone.i might be asked to be discharder.i don't want any help or hospice.I want be at home and with my husband not strangers.

     

    This is my plan

  • Hi Denise, 

    Can understand what your saying and we'll done for being sure what you want to do. 

    I was diagnosed Feb 2016 prostate gone to lymph nodes, spine, ribs, pelvis and a lung was classed as palliative care, i was working till i had to retire to look after my disabled wife she needs 24 /7 care she has Alzheimers and parkinsons plus other problems I'm her official carer, i had to promise her that i would look after her before she'd marry me she's nearly 14years older than me that was nearly 50 years ago, so I'm keeping positive and fighting taking any treatment offered and so far done good, my uninvited guest gives me a bite now and again but I'm still fighting and keeping positive, good luck with whatever you choose we all lead independent lives and can choose what we do with it.

    Love Billy xxx
