I can't fathom going through all those treatments. I don't blame you for not going on. Has it helped? My hubby finished 12 rounds of the strongest Chemo (Oncologist) told us when he began treatments. Hubby only was going for 4... Then he agreed to 8....then 12. Again Preying you make peace about your plans ahead. 🌈

@casey1959 I am not quitting/going on. The 85 chemo treatments have kept me alive 4X longer than Mayo gave me at the end of June 2022 :). I was at such a low energy level the last 4 months of 2025 that I do not want to be that depleted again. Interesting trying to find any protocols. I do understand that each of us is different as cancer patients, but I feel that there must be some standard recommended lengths of treatments.
I plan to keep on fighting. I just want to be more proactive in my plan of care, especially since I have a new oncologist since mine retired at the end of December 2025.
