I too have thought about this and it terrifies me to ever be faced with that. I too feel that I'd want to do what I could to save my life. I would make sure it was a treatable cancer and what the survival rate was. I'd research every possible treatment. I'd express strongly to the doctors my fear of throwing up, I'd take the strongest anit-nausea pill there was. But I think I'd have to choose life, unless it wasn't very treatable. I actually know of someone who had cancer and although treatment would only prolong her life she chose chemo. I guess she had a really good experience with chemo. She never vomited, just felt tired. They gave her some anit-anxiety medicine before administering the chemo, which I thought was nice. How does one get through it without throwing up? Some people swear by healthy diets and they go on with their normal lives while getting chemo treatments. What a positive view.
