Choosing treatment is a very personal thing. My father chose to stop his chemo treatments and it improved his standard of living dramatically. (he's still fighting cancer) A friend of mine (a nurse) said she'd never torture her self like she's seen so many people do with some treatments. (She died of cancer a few years ago)

Sometimes other's people's advice isn't based on what is best for you, but on an aggregate across many people, and you could be on the bad side of percentages.

Absolutely. What I had in mind was that if you choose not to pursue treatment, make it a conscious decision and be aware of the consequences.
