My dad ,84, diagnosed with stage 3B lung cancer. He will start 20 doses of radiotherapy over all his chest over 4 weeks and this is just to control it. The side effects sound horrific. Without treatment his life expectancy is upto 12 months and with treatment it's 18 months. This could be my shock speaking but I just can't stop thinking for extra months he will go through these horrible side effects. This may sound horrendous but isn't it better to have a better quality of life or am I thinking about this the wrong way?
Anyone else been through these thoughts that sound horrible to say. Sorry if I've offended anyone with my thoughts.
