I think I should be more plain. I believe that having more Western treatment like surgery, chemo and radiation at this point will put you through an ordeal and probably hasten your death. I think you should use a good acupuncturist/Chinese herbalist and do supplements and diet and lifestyle. I would use a good diet that is also in accordance with the principles of Chinese medicine as outlined in my thread. If possible, I'd pray and also talk to your body and ask it what it wants and how it feels. Here is a link to my list of prayer lines.

It's common to believe that doctors are in charge of us, that we need to consult with them and have them approve of our actions. Your illness has about a 5% survival rate. It's unclear if the things doctors do improve that. They are certainly costly and unpleasant. They can make things worse. Treatment for lung cancer, for instance, makes the patients 2% more likely to die according the a meta-analysis of published studies published in US News and World Report years ago. For a while there was discussion about changing the treatment for that illness but then, astonishingly, they just went back to what they were doing.
I used to use a wheelchair but now I walk and use my wheelchair for a walker, sometimes. I had no insurance. I didn't really involve doctors. I did it on my own doing things like those I recommend to you.
Only 15 percent of the decisions a doctor makes
everyday are based on evidence.
