My advice to you, Lisa, is be very careful who you discuss this with outside this forum. I had personally come to a similar decision that you have, chemo 'gave' me about a 7% better chance of survival over 10 years. I'd already done all that in 2006 and it didn't work then so I decided I wasn't doing it.
