I had a similar choice given to me. I chose to hit the cancer with everything they offered, including chemotherapy. i have now done 4 out of 6 chemo's. i dont regret my decision for a second. im 29. any questions just ask.

i know chemo can seem scary and theres alot of side effects etc like loosing your hair. but i think if it improves your chances of living longer and healthier why not do it... its only a short period of time you will be sick for, but you still have happy times in between and i think its better to be safe than sorry.
Just my opinion though, its a very personal decision only you can make.
