I can only imagine how devastating this news is.
My sister has passed from metstatic breast cancer.
But I want to share her story. She was diagnosed in her 40s and lived to 60. She saw not only her children marry but have children. She even worked helping at the pre-school in the last 6 months of her life so they really did spend quality time with her.
None of that would have been possible without chemo.
All that was available for her tamoxifen and chemo. None if the new treatments available now. She did chemo 3 times.
Yes...she got tired.
Yes sometimes a little fed up.
But she packed so much life and love into her shortened life... and she has grew strong resilient children.
She assisted in helping her husband plan for a life without her...bought an ostrich farm. He misses her yes...but there he still is at 80 years old now still looking after it, a reason to get up every day and enjoy his life.
So yes...it does seem hard. But you have more living to do....You can always stop treatment if life doesn't feel worth it on chemo.
