Been diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer 

6 months without chemo could be a year with chemo just don't know what to do frightened of chemo making me feel worse with what little time I have with family .

  • Hi Izzi so sorry to hear about your diagnosis.  It is a very hard decision to make.  If it were me I would try the chemo and see how you get on with it as you could always stop it if it doesn't agree with you. I have had chemo and it was tough but you can get through it.   Also I think in a year medicine can change and there could be some new treatment, trials available.  I am on another forum for incurable cancer and the people on there have all lived way past what the oncologist predicted.  I have incurable cancer and not been given a date, I don't want to know.    I am determined to live every day and to enjoy it, but is is about the quality of your life.  What do your family think?  I do wish you lots of luck on whatever decision you make, it is up to you at the end of the day.
