I think that everyone should have the right to make such decisions.
With that said, if it was me, I would want to live as long as possible. I would fight it with every ounce of determination my body could muster. She called it quits before the battle began; Maybe she would have lived.
My grandmother had cancer years ago and was told she had a year left to live. She was 89 at the time, and checked herself out of the hospital and refused treatment. The chemo was doing so much damage that it was killing her. She decided she wanted to live out the rest of her life in the home she had lived in for thirty years surrounded by her friends instead of in a cold hospital surrounded by strangers. She died in her garden, which she had tended and loved since I was a child. It was perfect for her.
I would live every day doing what I love, not pulling the plug.
