This is such an important decision, and it's completely understandable to want to hear from others who've faced similar choices. Treatment decisions can feel overwhelming, especially when there are different options to consider. Many people in this community have navigated these difficult decisions and found it helpful to share their experiences and reasoning. The medical team's recommendations are based on specific factors in each case, so connecting with others here while also discussing concerns thoroughly with the oncology team can provide valuable perspective as you work through this decision.

I have medaplastic triple negative breast cancer. Stage 3. I also am dealing with Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Antiphospholipid Syndrome and (increased blood clotting disorder), COPD, lung cancer 3 years ago. Because of these existing illnesses I have chosen to have Palliative Care and transition to Hospice when I need it. I am also 76 years old. I am a believer that quality is the better option over quantity.
