The decision is certainly personal and for you to be comfortable with. Your comment "that they are prepared to give me chemo but the benefit is negligible - 1%" certainly must have you saying no probably not!
For me it was 3% and I said No and the Onc had said if it was more like 8% I would have convinced you otherwise, but for me 3% benefit negligible. I then asked what else was on offer and we went from there.
Best wishes as you sort out what is best for you
