Making this decision wasn't easy for Ariel. For a long time, she had deliberately avoided confronting the topic of treatment.
But now, with a clearer goal and a more definite path, she had no choice but to face it.
It took a while before Lesley replied, "Ms. Walker, given your current condition, we still need a detailed treatment plan. Preoperative chemotherapy is essential. But I still hope you'll think this through."
Ariel quietly stared at the message.
Lesley had explained that a more conservative approach might be viable, aside from the necessary removal surgery. But compared to a full hysterectomy, it worked more slowly and was much more unstable.
The only real advantage of the conservative route was that it could temporarily preserve her fertility.
Ariel took a deep breath. She had thought about this.
With the treatment timeline extended, the outcome remained uncertain. It was possible that in the end, all the conservative treatment would amount to was needless suffering.
