Frightened starting treatment

Getting more and more frightened treatment starts next week how can I face it I feel really angry as my husband died of rare cancer 8 yrs ago 

coped at first with diagnosis but then at next appointment it all changed as it had spread. It’s low spread having chemo and two immunotherapy drugs. I will have to live with it forever and continue with immunotherapy forever. Has anyone else been in this situation

as my husband had such a dreadful journey it’s making it harder for me and my family are terrified

    I understand your fear as I am due to start Immunotherapy next Friday, I am terrified and still not 100% I will go through with it. I still feel that living forever with the side effects may be worse than letting cancer take its natural course. I have Metasatic Melanoma in my Lung and Groin lymph node, all started in my toe 4 years ago.

    My husband died of Liver cancer 4 years ago, he didn't have any treatment because by the time he was diagnosed it was too late.

    I hope your treatment is not too bad, I keep telling myself not everyone gets all the side effects. Please feel you can keep in touch . x
