We don't know what it is yet, so I am just treading water. But, with 45 years worth of dues paid into the I have cancer club (two packs of Pall Mall non filters a day), I think it is about time I was accepted.
My wife and I have been discussing possible paths forward, and I am not interested in any treatment that does not have a good probability of recovering my current quality of life. So, if it is Cancer, and if it is going to reek havoc on my life, I would rather just start palliative care... that is my preferences, and only apply to me, I respect you for fighting back and wish you all the world of luck and good fortune.

I certainly hope that things work out for you. I now see the seriousness of your post. There are many new treatment options available today so if you need to go down that path you may find effective therapy with tolerable side effects. Keep the faith. I am sure all who have posted here or are reading your posts are thinking about you and wishing you the best.
