Or, accept the hand I've been dealt and enjoy the last days to the fullest, without all the chemo and other treatments, and probably feel pretty good for 90% of those last days. Theres an excellent chance one could be laying in a hospital bed, bald, barfing, and losing the battle. Thinking to one's self "I could be a on beach right now sipping a fruity cocktail and playing with the grandkids." I respect the Hell out of those who choose to fight. I dont know that I'd have it in me.
Lost my mom to stage 4 breast cancer, and after seeing the suffering (both mental and physical) that she endured after chemo it definitely changed my perspective on fighting it.

My view on stage 4 cases is enjoy your last days with your family and friends, especially with pancreatic cancer.

This may be a harder decision for some that have younger kids. It's a double edge sword either way you look at it.
