I have leiomyosarcoma. I have a mass on my liver. The cancer has spread. I am in my 5th day after the chemo infusion. Pretty miserable. I don't know that I will continue the chemo. I am in my mid 80's. Trying to be positive & praying.

Hello @nanee1

I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling so bad. I'm assuming that you are having side effects from the chemo. Is that correct?

If that is the case, you might consider talking to your doctor's office to see if there are medications available to help with the side effects.

What are the worst symptoms you are having right now?

So sorry to hear you are not feeling well after the chemo. I also have leiomyosarcoma which is in my liver as well as bone and muscles and am on chemotherapy. I am 72. I agree with the person who suggested you discuss your symptoms with your doctor or infusion nurse. There are lots of things they can do to offset side effects including other medications or adjusting the dose.

Each of us must decide for ourselves along with our health care team and support system (family and friends) how to proceed. I would just encourage you to take some time to explore all the alternatives before deciding to quit treatment. I also believe in the power of prayer and have enlisted all my friends who are well connected with God to intervene on my behalf!
