In your place, I would continue with treatments in hopes that someone might come up with a new reatment or even a cure, as long as health coverage is available.

Of course that would depend on how much I was suffering, how much I could handle, and what and whom I had to live for. If I had lots of support, interest in life, or maybe a grandchild on the way, I'd tough it out. If I were alone, lonely, miserable and tired of living, I'd stop treatment.

Good luck to you in whatever you decide.
