Chemo dilemma
Hi just after some input, I have finished 3 rounds of TC chemo, had reactions to all three at time of infusion, although the third one was handled better with increased steroids and antihistamine and ...
Aww.. @Red1, so sorry you have this dilemma. You are the only one to live with your decision and whatever happens to your body. It’s a sucky choice to choose between treatment now and possible long term problems. I’ve typed up many replies.. but in short, if it was me, you’ve done a great job with the treatment you’ve had. I wouldn’t risk more problems with your walking, driving, etc unless the treatment team said the next round was absolutely essential. I would be thinking I need to drive, walk, etc to participate in, enjoy, and look after my family. I was 42 when diagnosed and tried to balance treatment and potential side effects with quality of life. I want to participate as much as possible in what time I have. I don’t know when my end date is, or if cancer is all gone, or will come back, plus tomorrow I’ll be doing risky behaviour like driving and crossing the road... Got to keep on living the best life I can. Best wishes for your decision 💕💕💕
