How long can you live if you stop taking chemo pills?

This is such an important question that many people in the cancer community face when considering treatment decisions. The timeline without chemotherapy varies greatly depending on the specific type of cancer, stage, overall health, and many other individual factors that only an oncologist can properly evaluate. Having open conversations with the medical team about treatment goals, quality of life concerns, and all available options can help provide clearer guidance tailored to each unique situation.

You're absolutely right that this is such a personal decision that really needs those honest conversations with your medical team - and it might also help to ask them about what palliative care options could support your comfort and quality of life no matter what path you choose.
