I have Stage IV Breast cancer which infected my lymph nodes, low back, pelvis & some ribs. My doctor said it is incurable & changed his treatment plan from agressive to a milder version to help maintain quality of life. Does this sound like appropriate? Also, my cancer was ranked 3/3 on agression. I had my first chemo this past week, & it wasn't bad. I didn't throw up, but he's given me a milder one. I also think he is no longer recommending radiation. I am not sure what my odds are if I was to try to fight it. I am not a super healthy person to start with. I am disabled, so am compromised with a number of medical problems. I just wonder if I should trust his judgment & go for comfort & quality or go the other route. I also have an elderly parent who would have to witness the whole process as we live together. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated! Thanks! God bless!
