Was so shocked when i heard what it entailed and i am so scared. Have had 3 weeks to think about it it. and no nearer.  deciding.   No other treatment  options. Do i just bite the bullet or take a chance and  refuse surgery.

  • Hi flabbergasted Cant help you with your decision only you can really decide that. When i was given my treatment plan i asked the oncologist what would happen if i did not have the treatment. Also I was really worried about radiotherapy and the side effects so took a while to decide to go ahead. We had a very dear lady on here Pauline who declined treatment as she said she wanted quality not quantity of life. You have to decide which is best for you try and talk to people dont ask them to choose for you just to listen to your arguments for and against some times actually speaking these things out loud can help. Good luck for tomorrow let us know what you decide and how you get on.
