Hi Meg,
The title of the thread by Paul R. is 'Refused All Treatment'. Paul's mom's health was not good and she probably could not have tolerated the treatment. She survived over a year and had quality time to spend with her children before the disease took her life. While every case is different, it should give you an idea of what to expect.

Take care,
Eileen
