Hopefully I will avoid it, but the older I get the more likely I wouldn't do chemo even if an alternative wasn't available. I've seen people who survive chemo at 80 and still alive at 90. I've also talked to survivors that don't have feeling in their hands anymore. Chemotherapy is a mixed bag. My uncle chose no treatment in his mid 70s after watching his wife suffer through those treatments and die anyway. My age at time of diagnosis will play a big role in my choice of treatment
