Hi Marta,
Thanks so much for your reply. I find it very interesting and relevant to my own situation. Right now I am not suffering. I feel 100% great physically. I am able to do everything I enjoy (eat delicious food, camp, ride my horse, hike, play with my kitten, spend time with my husband, travel, etc.). I have no symptoms and a wonderful quality of life. I have increased tumor markers but no tumors on the scan. At some point, it is likely that I will develop a tumor or metastasis. Then I will be at a crossroads with the same considerations you have thought about. I value the quality of my life and it is more important to me than quantity. Right now I am interested in an immunotherapy trial, but I don't know if I would do chemo again. I'm so glad you have had this amazing 27 years and the wonderful year with your husband. Let's stay in touch.

I am curious however, given that you don't intend to do any treatment, what value you are seeking by joining this group?
Beth

Just to see if there are others in my situation. Thank you for replying. I just signed up with home hospice because my symptoms started coming. Can’t eat or drink anything. So thirsty but swish my mouth out with ice cold water.
