I'm very sorry to hear you are thinking about declining treatment. I don't know the exact details of your situation but this is a huge decision to make so please make sure you discuss all your options with your medical team before doing anything. Our team of specialist cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m if you'd like to talk things through with them as well. They're very easy to talk to and will do all they can to support you and address any concerns you have about any treatments that have been offered to you.
The journey with cancer is such a tough one and really tests us both physically and emotionally but there is always someone who understands what you are going through, so even though it may not feel like it right now, you are not alone and I'm sure our members who have thought about or faced making a similar decision will offer their thoughts, advice and support to you soon.
I know you've mentioned that you feel you have little to push or go on for but what do your family and friends think? I know it will be tough but if you can, do try to open up to them and let them know how you are feeling and what you are thinking as I'm sure they would be rather concerned and upset to hear this. If you find yourself feeling really low or questioning life then the Samaritans are available on 116 123, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They do not judge and will not tell you what to do. They are there to listen and support you and won't make any decisions for you so do give them a call if you are struggling to cope or having troubling thoughts.
Our community are here for you StevecT and will do all they can to help you at this very difficult time.
