Hi Kitty,

As Colleen mentioned, I'm also dealing with advanced cancer. I'm in my fifth line of chemotherapy treatment, and it is pretty much the last resort. There is one trial I am eligible for, but I have not decided if I'm going to do it yet. As long as this line of treatment is working, I will stick with it. Just had scans this week and most of the cancer stayed the same - one spot showed some growth, but not substantial. So while I haven't had to make the decision you have already made, I know the day is coming so it weighs heavily on my mind.

Like you, I am not afraid of death. I'm more afraid of living in pain and extreme illness. I have no children or grandchildren. I worry about being a burden on my sisters who are my support system. Wishing you pain free days and a peaceful passing when that time comes.

Kris
