My last round of chemo wasn't as bad as some, but I was in a nursing home with staff that were there to take care of me. Now I'm living in an assisted living situation and the help is not so good. I'm not willing to suffer for 13 weeks (or longer) for a couple more months or even another year of life. I've also got the four spots on my liver as well that were not there on the last scan.
