Re: Saygoon IT Journey

Paula,

Ok, so your Onc thinks another chemo in addition to the IT may put the beast back in the box, but the the treatment may be too much for you to tolerate. I think if it were me I'd try the chemo to see how if goes. Palliative care is still out there, but are you ready for that at this time? Only you can know this, obviously, but then again you do not know how the chemo will go.

I will keep praying for you. Let us know what you decide to do. I am truly sorry you are facing this horror.
