I believe we are in no win situation as all these drugs can cause other cancers and issues.

I have to beg to differ because I don’t believe we’re in a no-win situation with the chemo meds we’re taking. While they can cause cancer or other issues, it’s not a given that they will.
In the meantime drugs buy us precious time that we may not have had otherwise. I’ve gained 4 years because of chemo and a bone marrow transplant. You wouldn’t believe the meds I took during the time of treatment. But I am here and enjoying every day to the fullest because those drugs helped me cheat death for a while longer. ☺️

I know it’s not easy with some of the side effects and the cost, but I really hope you find a good balance with your medications and they bring you a great quality of life!
