could help you with that decision. I've never been through chemo, but even though I don't know what it's like, except through family members and friend's experiences, you need to listen to what your body and your mind tells you.
I have been really ill for the last two years and if there was any way to take a short break from this and give my body a rest, I would. I have cancer, but the two types don't respond to standard chemo from what I understand. Plus I am trying to recover from Guillain-Barre Syndrome. That's the one that I wish I could take a break from, but it doesn't work that way.
Sorry I couldn't help with your decision but
I do understand where you're coming from.
