I don’t mean like how happy you are today. I mean overall, are you satisfied with everything you are up until this point? For me, for an example, I have a decent job that keeps my head just above water. I have a loving family that I see every couple months or weeks. I have the freedom to do what I want, when I want. But, overall, I’m sort of lonely and exhausted from constantly working. So, on a scale of 1 to 10, I’m about a 6.

    You should ask if maybe it’s best to do a round or two anyway as a preventative measure of they think it’s possible for it to hang around after the surgery. Better than waiting around for it to get worse, and while chemo is shitty 2 rounds max should be extremely tolerable.

    Only thing though, is that if you do plan on having kids at any point in the future, you should look into reproductive freezing before starting chemo; especially if you’re already in your late 20s or beyond. They don’t necessarily tell you that - I luckily found out that’s important the night before my first chemo was planned.

    Then again, you might also be in the USA where that might not be an affordable option.

      Maybe not affordable and I wonder to if it’s like an anti-biotic. Once you start, you commit to the entire treatment.

      We’ll see what the docs say once, you know, I get gutted like a fish. 😉 I already got cracked open like a lobster for the open heart surgery, what’s one more?
