After having 4 different cancers, I understand. I felt that way during my last bout, wondering why I kept putting myself through the process. It just didn’t seem worth it. Especially since with my genetic predisposition, this will just happen again.

Despite my despair, I finished treatment and I’m now fully healthy (and happy) again.

If you *know* that treatment won’t work, it makes sense to focus on the quality of life you have left.

But if it’s just the process itself that’s depressing you and making you feel like life is not worth living, please give it another thought.

We are pulling for you no matter what you decide.

Thank you. I believe it is the right decision. It is my fault I got the cancer in the first place so I will accept my fate. I wish I would not have waited patiently with the doctors- for anyone reading this, DO NOT WAIT PATIENTLY for doctors. It will be too late. And never let a nurse PRACTIONER take you off your antidepressant because she does not like bupropion, especially if you have been on it for over fifteen years.
