Dear Fussyjan,
​I am so incredibly sorry you are going through this. To go from being active, walking your dog twice a day, and feeling completely fit, to receiving this kind of news must feel absolutely shattering. It is completely understandable that you are reeling from this.
​It is incredibly frustrating to hear that the cancer hasn't spread, but that your heart condition is stopping the aggressive treatments you might otherwise have had. Medical teams often make these difficult decisions because treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery put an immense, sometimes fatal stress on a compromised heart. Their goal is likely to ensure that the time you do have is spent feeling as well as possible, rather than suffering from severe treatment side effects in a hospital.
​That being said, you absolutely have the right to clarity and a voice in your own care.
