@upstairs17, that must be hard news to swallow. I think you are wise to learn about the side effects of treatment and weigh what is meaningful for you between quality and quantity of life. Keep in mind that sometimes treatments like radition can be used to help manage pain as a palliative treatment. The goal of treatment can be to keep you comfortable and not necessarily to extend life.

Have you looked into palliative care or hospice care? Do you live alone?
