Hi All, I'm hoping for some advice from others who have had chemotherapy and/or other treatments, after being given a terminal diagnosis.I have stage 4 liver and pelvic bone cancer with unknown primary. Up until today, after 6 months my oncologist thinks that the liver lesion is likely the primary cancer. On April 17th I completed 5 sessions over 10 days of pelvic bone radiation. After my recent pet scan unfortunately the pelvic bone is showing little change and my oncologist is recommending chemotherapy combined with an immunotherapy drug Durvalumab. Due to losing my two older brothers to cancer, I am petrified of the affects of chemotherapy. My oncologist knows this and has tried to work this out for me, but due to not being responsive to radiation, he now recommends chemotherapy. I'm aware that with no treatment I may not live long, but I don't want to spend my remaining time extremely sick, with all of the side affects of chemotherapy. I know that with no treatment I will also become extremely unwell. I just don't know if treatment is worth it. Any advice, feedback or suggestions is more than welcome. Thank you 🌼
