That's a hefty blow to get 3 serious diagnoses all at the same time. I understand you are now considering whether to continue with the full course of chemotherapy, am I right?

That's a decision that others have talked about here too:

It's a very individual choice and also affects those around you. @miller03 are you finding the side effects of chemo to be a struggle? Has taking a break helped ease the side effects?
