Tamara, Thank you for sharing the story about your aunt and uncle. That's amazing.

Michelle,
It may not be the final rally, but often when people, at least, are taken off of chemo they feel so much better. They can go on about their lives for days, weeks, sometimes months. (When they took my terminally ill Aunt off chemo -pancreatic & liver cancer- she looked like death warmed over, they told her to go home and enjoy her garden and the summer. She was expected to only have a month or so to live. Well her husband was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer a month later and Aunt Marge rallied and held out for 3 years -taking care of Uncle Jack and helping him to die -before passing herself - just a few months after her husband.) Chemo is poision that kills the cancer in the system, but also attacks the healthy body as well. Some patients have better quality of life (although much shorter) living with the cancer than the chemo.
