As others have said, get a second opinion if you are not confident with your doctor's recommendation. It is difficult for doctor's to gauge how to tell patients things: play God, be optimistic and reassuring; or, be realistic, totally balanced and involve the patient. Personally I prefer the latter, but it is not for everyone.

The other thing is always remember you are under no obligation to take treatment recommendations. You can say no. When I had colon cancer surgery the surgeon -- whom I highly trust -- urged prophylactic chemo afterwards, as there would be a 23% chance of improving survivability by two years. I said no thanks. Maybe earlier in life, but at this point two more years doesn't mean that much and having watched my wife go through five cycles of chemo for two different forms of cancer, I realize one of those two added years will have very little quality of life. I'll trust your scapple work, Doc. Well, yours and that robot's.

I feel sure you've already sought a second opinion. Even if you haven't I have confidence you're making the best decision given what choices you have. You and your doctor will keep track of every day and she'll make any necessary adjustments. Yes you're struggling because it's scary but as I said you're making the best decision.
Please keep us updated.

Firstly just be strong you done your due diligence now it's time to follow the instructions and go through conditios.Try n think less about what could may happen too much as you can't do much about it but surely would breed anxiety which won't be good .We all are at the mercy of God pray ,have faith n walk through the rest of fire.All the best .

I think it’s actually a good thing to have a doctor who truthfully tells you they don’t know. I’d much rather have that, than an over confident doctor who falsely thinks they know everything.

Is it worth seeking a second opinion, just to verify this is the best idea? If you proceed with the meds, keep a very close eye on yourself ... or better still, get a reliable friend to.

I don't really have anything useful or wise to say but, I mean you really have no option. Just gotta get thru it. 50 50 sounds pretty good to me. All you have to do is nudge it a little to the good side . It'll be fine

Man, I hate this for you so much 😔😔 life is so hard. But I hope you have support and you’re around people who love you. You will get through this hun 🥺🥺 I will pray for you too if you are religious

I know you'll watch yourself and monitor closely. Listen to your body.

Hugs

get a different opinion. good luck

Is it even worth it to do that that if it doesn't help in the end but does make you worse.. is the chance that it makes you better worth the risk? and what % better? Like how bad is it now bs what it could be? 😳 are there no other options? That are less potentially destructive?

Hope it all turns out well and it helps whatever is going on.

If you need to do this, try it; with close, careful monitoring, you will succeed.

First, get a second opinion.
