D: Do you want to stop altogether? With the chemo? I feel-
P: No, no. We’re going fine.
D: Okay. You want to keep going, okay.
C: No, we want to keep going.
D: Cause certainly that’s always an option. And as long as I feel you can tolerate it, even at a lower dose or a changed schedule I will always do that.
P: Right, right.
D: But if ever you reach a point, you know, and if I feel you’ve reached the point I’ll tell you myself as well, that you wanted to stop with the chemotherapy and just have a quality of life and let this take its course, that’s reasonable.
C: No.
D: We’ll do our best to get you through.
