Of course, that doesn't mean this thread is closed; still open to commentary or discussion.

I think I've decided to not resume chemo - at least for now (my way of justifying it) - which is probably effectively forever unless something magical comes along. I've been miserable on chemo and feeling good without it. Since I'm past the curative state, it only defers the inevitable and probably not by enough to justify it. I'm thinking about trying a break and getting (relatively) healthy.

Love to all,

- Tab
