I'm almost a year away from my diagnosis and am doing very well with no signs of a return. But I was sick and miserable for 5 or 6 months. I was depressed and wanted to die but I also knew I had a good chance of recovery so I hung in there. But reading how people spend years in what I'll call "extending life" treatments rather than "cure" treatments made me realize that I'm simply not going to go there if I have a recurrence that is deemed to be incurable. A shorter high quality (relatively speaking) life is preferrable to a long life of sickness and misery from chemo, feeding tubes and the like. This is a very individual decision one usually not supported by loved ones. Quality of life, not quantity is what is important to me. For some though extending life at all costs (and all levels of misery) is what they choose to do. There are no "right" decisions when it comes to individual life and death choices. Do what is best for you.
