I too respect your decision.
But I can tell you that my diagnosis was stage IV. Mets all over my liver.

Chemo shrunk all of them and killed my pancreas tumor which got me to surgery. I live a full life, work full time and travel.

I have had a small recurrence in my liver which was treated with gem-abraxane and once again tumor marker is normal and I’ll be back to surgery to remove those little renegades.

Please know chemo does curtail you a few days but then you can bounce back if your healthy otherwise

May God bless you and your family as you walk this road.
