Me. Once. More. My chemo oncologist called me at 6 pm today. Will explain in more detail later. My cancer Study did not come back in the low range where you dont take take chemo. It did not come back in the high range where you must take chemo. It came back in the high intermediate range where it is the patients decision whether to take it or not. The doctor told me all the statistics with having nothing done, with having chemo, radiation, and meds for 5-10 years and he told me statistics for taking only radiation and meds. He said I was confused so come to his office Thursday. After talking to my daughter Leslie Reid Mattison and to my son Brian J. Reid and to my college suite-mate who just happened to call right after I talked with them, I realized that all the sickness and horrible things chemo can do to people, that although I am high intermediate --- because I have so many other health issues-- unless I have a big change of feeling-- I will NOT take chemo. My husband told me he was not going to tell me what to do but after I made the decision he is glad that us the one I made The doctor cannot tell me what to do but I could tell he was leaning my way. Chemo would only give me 4% more chance of living a year after cancer so with such low percentage I do not see putting myself through that. He gave me lots of statistics but this is the main one to me. I will get started on radiation and cancer meds soon and pray that I have made the right decision. I do feel a peace since i got settled and could think straight. Whatever the outcome--- GODS GOT THIS!!! Please continue to pray for me. I still have lots to go through !
