@soupycampbell, I agree that a visit with your GP is a good place to start. Having all of the info related to what you are facing can give you great power. I respect that you have the power to make these decisions and have some control over what the remainder of your life will look like. That’s very brave.
People often talk about the strength of people that fight until the end, and ‘never give up’. I believe that knowing when to be at peace takes so much more strength! I wish you the very best.
I have stage IV lung cancer with metastasis to the liver. It is very much under control right now, but my type of cancer is incurable. I’m 52, and my current treatments are a breeze compared to some. So for now, I’ve chosen to live each day! That’s brought me a great feeling of freedom and peace. For now at least!, take care, Lisa

Lisa, I’m so sorry. You are so young yet, my daughter is 54. I’ve always said I would be happy to give my life to someone younger so they can enjoy theirs. Yes, I’ve been at a loss for lack of info. I just would like straight up truth and what to expect. I tried to donate my body to the University of BC and apparently if it’s metastasized they can’t except it. I thought maybe I could do some good! I would imagine with last years Desmoplastic Melonoma on my head that would confirm it. I will say a prayer for you and hope you can hold it off for several years. I truly appreciate your answering and your message.
