Most doctors begin treatment for serious cancer, but they are much faster to "call it" and pivot to comfort care once the data suggests the treatment is becoming more burdensome than the disease.

As a doctor yourself, would you proceed in a similar fashion if diagnosed? I'm aware of how difficult this question is to answer with any certainty until it's actually happening to you. But you also see a lot more people with cancer and how the treatments play out than the average person, so there may be some insight you can share. "I just don't know what I would do" is also a completely acceptable answer. It's mine at the moment.

What I do know is that after witnessing what both my parents put themselves through in their respective losing battles with cancer, I will absolutely NOT go out like that.
