My Decision to Forego Cancer Treatment

Walliegene C I wish you well. I'm sure that was a very difficult decision.

Yes it was. But this is not my first rodeo. I already survived and am surviving a prior cancer. Also; Inflammatory Breasts Cancer is far more agressive and so is the treatment "offered"

Wishing you the best.

Wishing you the best quality of life. I understand completely. I hope you have some supportive people in your circle. Too many people are afraid of death and so they pressure their loved ones to strangle every last day out of this life. I've seen a lot of people suffer needlessly because of it. Live and die on your terms and know that there are people here to understand and support you. ❤️

You have got to do what is right for you. I pray everyday I will never have to make another decision on cancer. To treat or not to treat. Live a love filled life ♥️

I wish you all the best . I hope every day brings more joy and peace than the last. Live your life to the fullest. You know what is best for you. God Bless ❤️

I understand there are days that you are tired, depressed and want to give up. This is my fourth time and has spread to some bones. Stage 4. My sister had Stage 4 and she is in remission.There are so many new treatments out there. Don't ever give up or in. Do some more research and find a treatment that can give you some quality of life. Pray. With God All things are Possible.

I have included an integrative oncology team as part of my ongoing care. They help me with supplements, acupuncture, and massage as part of my palliative care. I encourage you to consider looking into this option. We all deserve to live a high quality life and that is why I am looking at all options as I head down this path.

I made the same choice. What makes me angry is close friends who ask if I'm suicidal or want to argue about my choice. In fact my very best friend and I do not talk and we use to see each other everyday. I wish you well!

I've been on hormone therapy for over 8 years. My QoL is good. I've been so blessed to be able to spend quality time with my granddaughters and kids. I've traveled to Alaska and 2 months trip across the country. I love my life.

Positive vibes coming your way! Do you!!

All of my prayers to you as I'm sure, it was not an easy decision. May God comfort you 🙏🏾

Sending you well wishes. You are strong! You have to do what you feel is the right thing.

Is any decision dealing with our health ever easy? A cancer decision has always been difficult. There are so many things to consider, but it seems they are all at once. You've done your work and made your decision. Other people need to respect it and start being supportive. If not, keep it moving.

Prayers for you. You have to do what’s right for you, no one else! 🙏🏻

Bless you. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Enjoy every day the best you can.

Miracles do happen through prayers. Blessings to all.

Praying for you. I hope you find support and good palliative care.

You are strong lady !

I respect your decision but please meet with other oncologists. I had to change mine he was very pessimistic about my situation stage four BC you deserve the best options.

Making treatment decisions, especially difficult ones like this, takes tremendous courage and self-reflection. The weight of these choices can feel overwhelming, and it's completely understandable that this process brings up complex emotions. Many patients in this community have faced similar crossroads and found strength in sharing their experiences and supporting one another through whatever path they choose.

I respect your decision and understand your choice completely. Sometimes you have to do what's right for you not listen to the doctor's because alot of them have been wrong 100%. God has everyone's #.
