Enhertu or Quit this Hamster Wheel?!

I am truly sorry that you too have had such a hard time all these years. I wouldn't wish our troubles on anybody. I do appreciate that you truly know how I've been feeling...even my husband doesn't really understand. He's in denial.Right now he thinks I should continue to go for this new treatment because it might work and it's worth it. I'm the one suffering from previous attempts and will have even more with a new treatment.
If NewYork state passed the death with dignity I would go for it. It passed again this year but the governor didn't sign the bill and nothing will happen.
Many years ago I thought Dr.Kavorkian was right in helping people end their life. But he's gone.The only person who matters is the patient.No politician,medical person or family should have a say.The patient should be able to decide what to do and when.
I'm not looking forward to more pain. I just can't take it.
You do what's best for you. You don't need anybody else to advise.You are the best judge of you.

We treat our pets with more dignity and compassion at the end of their lives.
Just my opinion.
I'm researching options.
I get a magazine called "Compassion& Choices".
There's the Compassion & Choices Action Network that focuses on federal and state legislative work promoting dying with dignity.
Empowers everyone to chart their own E-of-L journey.

I'm so sorry that you have been fighting this beast for 4 years...I was diagnosed with uterine serous carcinoma in 2021 syage 1A ...however a rare aggressive cancer with a high rate of recurrance. It recurred in 2022 and I had 6 rounds of chemo with herceptin HER2 positive cancer. Was NED until April of 2025..started Enhertu in May and have had 5 treatments. I have been very fortunate to have few side effects... I'm told this is not unusual because Enhertu is a targeted chemo not systemic. Only you know what you are willing to endure, but that being said I think Enhertu is a very good option and less toxic than the chemo you have already had...Wishing you luck love and positive energy !
