but I'm thinking, gimme the over/under of NO chemo and then WITH chemo and I'll make the decision.
This is a wise decision, and before I finish my point, I must say how impressed I am with your poise and humor in light of this situation. My father was the same way, his spirit, humor and poise made a difficult situation easier.
My father had a great oncologist who became a good friend. When push came to shove, he sat down with my Dad and us and explained how a doctor's goal is to keep the patient alive. And they'll do it regardless of the quality of life. He was able to give my father the straight dope, the 'with' and 'without', and Dad chose his treatment based on solid advice.
If you like your docs and trust their take, great. If not, you might want to think about a health proxy that will help you sort out the options.
For what it's worth, you gotta a lot of people here in Redditland cheering for you.
