Only you know what is best for you. You may have to do some research or ask some good questions of your doctor about how to procede. It is your choice and your life.
My sister in law had advanced cancer that had spred to her brain. She was 56 years old, but had already raised four wonderful well adjusted children, had 10 grandchildren, and had traveled extensively with my brother. Her decision was to not procede with further treatment and live her life to the fullest. Which is exactly what she did.
Good luck and may peace be with you.

Go to a homeopath who would give you medicines which will reduce your misery to the maximum extent and prolong your life also.
