My partner has decided to stop chemotherapy, his choice and I will support him with all my heart , but I am struggling dealing with this .
Hi Janette and welcome to our community.
It might be helpful to you to look at our pages Making treatment decisions, but I would note in particular the bit about their not being a wrong answer here.
Sometimes the language people use about cancer can be unintentionally unhelpful - people talk about "fighting cancer" as if somehow we could give it a good punch and it would go away. Not going work for my wife - however her cancer is stable for now.
Sometimes the oncologist gives a verbal clue - do they recommend chemotherapy or say something weaker like "we can offer chemotherapy". Chemo is, as no doubt your husband has discovered not without it's downsides too.
What I hope is that you both get to enjoy your time together, you clearly care very much for your partner and that is perhaps the most important thing of all.
