Soupy- I her you, Soupy. But taking painkillers doesn't mean you won't have a quality life. It could increase it. And this is the case whether you chose radiation or without it. I pull out all the stops when I want a clear answer to something. My eyes swell and tears drip down my face.." but if I have, go..how can I enjoy it?"

Can you have radiation when you are back from traveling? How much time is there in between the trips?

I have since talked to my family Dr and I had pretty much decided not to get it but we decided together to get the 5 weeks of a lower dose and try it and if any problems stop it. Also, a couple of questions. I’m at the moment in bed yet watching the news and I all of a sudden was doubled over with pain in my chest. I stayed sitting like that for a few minutes and it got less and less painful and can now breath fully. Also wondering if anyone has a dog that they had with them when they passed. I want to have mine with me as she doesn’t want to leave my side and I’ve been told if they’re with you they will know when you’ve passed and be ok to leave. My granddaughter will take her. I have set up for Medical Assisted Death which I should and hope I can do at home. Obviously I love my dog but I’ve been on my own for many years and have had this one for 5 years which has kept me moving and healthy.
I truly appreciate your input.
