Going my way: Decided to stop cancer treatments

While I had a different situation in that at a point in my treatment of radiation and chemo, I found the chemo so debilitating that I took only 3 of the 6 sessions. Though the two are different, they represent the same values: we all have a point where either that little voice tells us or we have just had enough and we have the right to say, “stop”. You need only answer to yourself, ironically the same person who is undergoing the dis-ease. Bless your decision and find some joy in the day. With warm regards,

@agelessspirit- As a long-time Lung Cancer survivor, I know that one day I will have to make this decision unless I am felled by something else. I think, from reading a lot of posts on Connect and other places that there does come a time when we sense when enough is enough.

Did you have an aha moment, separate from the debilitating side effects that were part of this decision?
How did you handle this with your family?
