Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear of your prognosis,  it's a real tough blow for you.

I'm not in the same situation as you but just wanted to let you know chemo can be OK, if you decided on that. I personally have been very lucky with no suffering per se, just feel a bit weird for a few days with the steroids. Insomnia,  increased appetite,  a day or so of zombification. But everyone is different and I have typically 3 hour sessions every 3 weeks, not the same as your option, of course. 

Of course all your emotions are up in the air at the moment,  understandably. Try and get lots of information and then you can make a measured decision. I would say give chemo a go, if it buys you time it's worth a shot. There may well be trials with new drugs, you never know what might be available to you.

Good luck and I'll be thinking of you.  There's lots of lovely people on this forum to talk to who will understand what you're going through. It's very early days for you right now, with lots of uncertainty,  which is tough. But once you know more info and can have a chat through your options, you should hopefully get some more clarity.

Take care and good luck!
