Thank you for responding, my oncologist informed me yesterday that I have months left. I am still positive, refusing to take hormone therapies, been through enough. The side effects do not warrant living longer to be miserable. My CML is in remission thanks to the generosity of Novartis and their Tasigna.

@hairbrain, I can understand your choice of quality over quantity of time. My dad made a similar choice choosing to stop chemotherapy (colon cancer, not prostate).

Have you discussed palliative care with your team?
