I have put off posting as I have been struggling to know what to say.
The day to day anxiety of wondering what's going on is draining and stressful plus the thought of more awful treatments is like torture.
I respect your decision but would just urge you to reflect if any of your decision is made due to depression? We know statistically that a cancer diagnosis is strongly associated with both clinical depression and anxiety.
You have achieved NED before so some things work for you and support your immune system in fighting the cancer.I wonder if you no longer believe this is possible?
Becky raised the issue of tykerb as an alternative to chemo and T-DM1 and pertuzumab will soon be approved.It often happens with breakthroughs that once one drug is found effective many others appear along similar lines.
I hope my thoughts and questions are not offensive in any way.
Love
Ellie
