I was diagnosed in October 2016 with stage 4 bowel cancer which is  inoperable and I have  secondary cancer throughout liver, lungs and testine linings.  Offer of agressive chemo with little prospect of any improvement or shrinkage of main tumour. After discussion with family I took decision to not have chemo but to try and have quality time with family and friends, with prospects of only a few weeks extension of life I wanted to enjoy my time being as strong as I could without dealing with after effects of the chemo. I am 64 years old and desperate to see my 65th birthday in March. I'm married with 2 children and have 4 grandchildren. I have been reading the forum for some time and now just feel ready to talk about it, I would love to hear from anyone at a similar stage, just for genral chat or support.
