so much to think about
So as I contemplate my life so far and whats going on, I realize I have a lot to think about. This is all based off worst case senerio so don't mind my pessimism,
If the diagnosis is bad, do I want to tell my loved ones?
I honestly don't know the answer to this. I don't know if I would want to know if one of my loved ones were in a terminal stage. I think I would rather enjoy what life I have left and make the best of it instead of worrying those around me.
What medical treatment I would want if the cancer has spread and "incurable"
I don't know if I would want to deal with the horrible affects of chemo if the only time it bids me will be spent in misery. If the pain does not increase until extreme late stage, I think I would rather just have pallative care to manage it and try to enjoy what life I have left.
If the diagnosis is midstage, what do I want to do?
This is a huge one for me. I don't know exactly how bad things are but I am researching my options for each step of the way.
Ok,...enough depressing thoughts for now....
