I totally understand not wanting to spend remaing weeks/months in and out of the hospital and enduring, as Emily so eloquently said "the awful barbaric treatments". I hope you will do all the things you have always wanted to and then some! ( I have a very dear friend here who had just made the decision to stop chemo for liver cancer. He said he'd rather go fishing and spend time with grandchildren as long as possible rather than being sick as hell and not being able to enjoy those activities.)
Wishing you the very very best.
