my sister decided she wasn't going do the treatment anymore,she was all ready to do it at mayo clinic and backed out at the very last minute, saying she wanted quality of life instead of quantity,which the family is ok with since she was so sick after the first treatment, plus the more research we have done it really doesn't seem really worth it to most of the family for extra time, the only thing she would have done differently would have been to not have ever done the first treatment, as all of her hair has fallen out as a result from the chemo , now she has certainly not given up by any means, she's gonna focus on getting her blood sugar under control, and she has started eating a lot healthier, and taking lots of supplements and they must be working because she feels the best she has felt since her diagnosis, her stress level has also much improved just from making the toughest decision of her life , thank you for reaching out and checking on
her,god bless

Hello @tnt69

You must feel relieved that your sister made a decision like this on her own. It is good that her family was able to be supportive of her at this time. I'm glad that she is eating better now and feeling better. I hope that her quality of life continues to improve.

I'd love to hear updates from you, when it's convenient.

I'm familiar with this feeling of making the decision that is "right". My father also chose quality over quality. It felt right for him and our family too.

Do you have information about hospice care should it be requested or needed?
