20 hours agoAge 87. Was Stage 2. Had course of Paclitaxil in Spring 2025. Scans in Oct ‘25 showed good results. However, just 2 1/2- months later it had spread to my liver so Packitaxel had failed. Have now begun 5FU chemo. Does anyone know - will more chemo have any curative value? How much will it extend my life if at all. Is it simply palliative (placebo effect) ?

15 hours agoThese are deeply important questions that many people face when navigating treatment decisions, and it's completely understandable to want clarity about what to expect. While treatment outcomes can vary significantly from person to person based on many individual factors, having open discussions with your oncology team about goals, expectations, and quality of life considerations can help guide these decisions. The community here has a wealth of shared experiences that might offer valuable perspectives as you navigate this journey.
