Hi Mary,

I think it's not about being brave or foolish, this is a stereotyped speech that society has created.it i s a very very complicated decision and put in these terms, any choice can be foolish or brave.
I also refused the chemo, which also went through a platine regime.I height pondered much and suffered much but had plenty for me to decide not to do. 9 months passed and I am now waiting for a biopsy... I'm probably relapsing.this time i will not consider, above all I always thought about having quality of life but unfortunately I have seen that life is not nothing that I want for me . I'm too young and do not want to die, is the only sure I have.when I refused I promised to me that I would give me a chance if I relapse. but do not you see yourself as foolish or brave ... unfortunately chemo is very painful but not guaranteed ... so who knows whether or not to do, is not the same thing? there are success stories about people who did not or people who did. it's just the only answer-  now -  for conventional medicine.

accept your decision and do not feel guilty...because you aren´t.

kiss,

Sofia
