Choosing to stop treatment

I was diagnosed with metastases in October last year and was given ~12 months. We tried Trodelvy but it was too hard on my body. Tried Eribulen but a recent CT scan showed it’s not working.

my onc has said we could try liposomal doxyrubicin but I had a horrible time on doxorubicin last year. He estimates I have maybe 2 - 3 months left and the next treatment has about a 20% chance to work, and if it does, it would only buy me a couple more months at most.

im thinking it’s time to stop treatment and just enjoy the days I have left.

has anyone else made this decision? What is your experience? Were you in pain or have other bad symptoms?
