I hope you also read the blog entry that's linked to in the first paragraph. That particular post explains why I chose not to do Interferon. And the comments after that post may help you, too. It's a big decision and one we don't get do-overs for. You're wise to wait for your husband to get home and make him part of the conversation. No matter what you do will affect him as well.

I have had two surgeries and am clear today. However my husband is in the Army reserves and has been in Afghanistan since Sept 2012, he is hopefully coming home in June, which is what I am waiting for, so that he can talk to the doctor and ask question too. I am still trying to decided if I want to go through the treatments or not and this really helps me. <br />Thank you again<br />Lori Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320450055573507207.post-68723787842479322452013-03-12T13:32:25.223-04:002013-03-12T13:32:25.223-04:00Thanks, Becca.

I...Hey Carol, this was the perfect entry for me. I'm a surgery only, too. I had my surgeries and that was it, no treatment. I turned down Interferon and couldn't do a trial because of family and financial reasons. In two days I will be 2 years out and NED. I've often wondered why I'm still NED when others were diagnosed the same time and are gone now. If I could take part in an NED study, I would do it in a heartbeat. Anything I could do to help find a cure! I hope the docs pay attention to what you said.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03806836190580313905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320450055573507207.post-15514024766311683192013-03-12T11:26:37.171-04:002013-03-12T11:26:37.171-04:00Hi, thanks for taking the time to read this and to...Hi, thanks for taking the time to read this and to tell me about your sister-in-law.

I think I would go the surgery only route as well. I think my sister-in-law who died of bone cancer last year would still be here if they had not done all the chemo and radiation. I'm not saying she would be well, but radiation and chemo took her out. Hiness58https://www.blogger.com/profile/02593843842897815423noreply@blogger.com
