Please add to your Question. I had chemo for 6 months+, not fun but it worked. When a person is 80 it is much harder on them. Do you feel like you are pretty healthy otherwise? Do people in your family have long lives? What is your activity level? Do you go on walks or other type of exercise? How is your cholesterol and heart? All these things are factors in deciding to have or not to even have chemo. If you are already getting chemo try a nutritional drink like Boost (actually tastes good) or my favorite food that I could tolerate was baked egg custard, Find something that you really like and have it on hand. If you decide not to have chemo there are still things you can do. The obvious is nutrition. One that I used was affirmations, to do this lay quietly and think about your body as a whole. In your mind or out loud repeat "my body has the power to heal itself" say this over and over while mentally scanning your body top of head to toes until you feel you have said it enough. Do this daily. Stay as positive as you can and try to enjoy every day. Check out the Mayo Hospital web site, lots of good info there. I wish you the best.
