Hospice or treatment?

Posted by artistrose @artistrose, 4 hours ago

I have Adenocarcinoma lung cancer with mets to 4-5 areas of liver and to the pancreas. I’m looking at this as a death sentence. Leaning towards hospice and not treatment. Waiting for 1st oncology appt! From what I’ve read, chemo does little for liver cancer. Immunotherapy seems to set off pancreatitis, which I already have and I’m on low-fat diet as pancreatic attacks aren’t fun. Maybe radiation is possible but I’m also not into torturing myself with side effects to delay the inevitable. I’m on the verge of calling in my own hospice referral. Or wait for oncologist ?who I’m sure will urge some type of treatment. I’m just not sure its realistic given my Mets status. Anyone with liver and pancreas mets with thoughts?
