How do I cope when stopping all cancer treatment and feeling exhausted?

Making the decision to stop treatment can bring a mix of emotions, and it's completely understandable to feel exhausted during this time. Consider speaking with your care team about palliative or comfort care options that can help manage fatigue and improve quality of life, while also discussing that PET scan with your primary physician as you mentioned. This community understands the weight of these decisions, and there are others here who may have walked similar paths who could offer their perspectives and support.

I agree. I was never given a PET scan. During post chemo treatment. My Doc and I disagreed on my use of Anastrazole instead of the other Letrazole. My side effects were horrible and she would not change the med. So I just quit everything and never had a PET Scan. May I request one?

Will you consider natural holistic treatment and lifestyle changes?

I had CyberKnife targeted radiation therapy on the neuroendocrine carcinoid in my Left upper lung. Now, the mass is still there, but is evidently scar tissue. My lung in that area looks like broken glass, scar tissue, from the radiation, as well. I will have contrast and non-contrast CT scans every 6 months. But now my white cell count is somewhat elevated. No big deal. But it seems I am severely Anemic. I understand that nagging doubt of, is it controlled, is it gone. Will it return and metastasize to somewhere else in this body of mine? Is it just me that ruminates?
