- METALheadMom 2012/06/10 15:49:36+1I'm not sure, but most likely not. I think I would rather turn to being a heroin addict. Weighing out feeling like complete sh**, with feeling nothing, feeling nothing looks better to me.reply

- DS in Oak Ridge NC 2012/06/10 14:34:07+1I'd take radiation over chemo... I've already been through a course of external beam and radioactive implants to cure one cancer, and it seemed far less painful or debilitating than stories I hear about living with chemo.reply

+1Trying to make a decision. Chemo ruins your life quality. Radiation has it's own complications. Melanoma is painful in the end and not much curbs the pain. 2 yrs reasonable good life or 5 yrs of misery and sick?reply
