I know pretty well that the side effects of of the treatments viz. chemotherapy and Radiation therapy are worst. It is more than the suffering of the disease itself. What to do Cancer is such a disease and it has got to be treated fully, otherwise the end will be sooner and the treatment already given will not have any effect.
I request you to put up with the reminder of the treatment and complete it at any cost. The there is a chance of extending your life span. Please have it done for heaven's sake, as CANCER IS STILL AN ENIGMA. BEST OF LUCK FOR YOUR SPEEDY RECOVERY-

The ultimate decision is up to you. But why do you want to stop? Is it because of side effects - if this is the reason talk to your doctor and explain what it is that is making you lean toward stopping. There are many ways to combat side effects and if one method doesn't work for you then demand something else. I know that chemo sucks -been there done that but the alternative is even worse. There were days when I was on the couch for 21 hours and couldnt move. I had 4 rounds of aggressive chemo and after round two I wanted to stop...I got a new doctor who did things differently than the first doctor and after round 3 I was ready to start round 4 right away so see there is light at the end of the tunnel.
The bottom lime is that you have the right to stop whenever you want. In my opinion - quality of life is more important than quantity. Do what is best for you. Good luck.

Do not quit! You can make it through!!! I know it's hard, I am a breast cancer survivor who went through chemo 3 years ago. Yes there could be repercussions if you quit, and they could be worse than the chemo. It sounds like you need some support- find a support group, or feel free to email me at masonlz@yahoo.com if you just need to let some emotions out- but please don't quit your treatment.
Also please ignore dhaxsem healer above. Her advice is dangerous in your situation. Stick with your current MEDICAL
doctor.

Don't quit. Please!!!!! You are half way there. There is nothing to do but just DO IT!!! Keep your chin up, head held high and before you know it then it will be over. Are you sick, in pain??? Don't be afraid to tell your doctor that you need really good medicine for these things....if it helps to threaten to quit taking chemo to get these things then threaten away but don't stop chemo. Your doctor could even possibly change your chemo if it is too rough on you. Just keep thinking half way there, half way there. You're welcome to email me and complain, vent and whine and I will listen to it 24/7 and help out....but please don't give up the fight.

Talk to your doctor because quitting your treatment will have consequences or else they would treat you with chemo. Good luck and I will pray for you.

You obviously have your reasons for wanting to quit.
But I would suggest that you do not do nothing.
Read "Dhaxem and Cancer" on the Dhaxem website. It may give you ideas on what areas of life to look at, should you wish to combat cancer from within.
Best of luck.
