I am writing this from my wife's hospital room. Everyone's different. Everyone's journey is different. My wife and I are STUBBORN and are still in the fight. She is 3 years post diagnosis at stage 3/locally advanced. I won't rehash her treatments here but she is now stage 4 and has experienced wasting, diminished appetite due to ascites and intestinal blockage and ureter blockage from chemo scarring, but we are going to get through this. Our goal is to have the treatments and procedures here which should rebuild her appetite and strength so that she can resume chemo or targeted therapy treatment. Her oncologist might not support this, if he doesn't, we'll find another one. Do what you and your husbands feel right for you, but be prepared to change course and seek appropriate treatments to maintain strength and minimize pain.

Bless you all.

Fat thumbs here. Husband stage 4. Still doing chemo. It’s the quality of life now. No appetite but not using a walker or wheelchair. Palliative care now with the chemo. But it’s ok at this point. Husband leads and I follow. Whatever makes him happy! No changing course here. Did the research.
It’s the quality of life. Not about ME.
