Those that survive have to have the will to survive, and without chemo this disease will get you sooner or later. Its the later part we are all concerned about, and as the youngest son in a much older family watched many relatives die from this disease over the years. They all had different stories, and my cousin was dying from the same cancer for MANY years, ( it became a family joke to ask if she was still dying) If untreated, it can go to the brain, which will be a very unpleasant thing indeed. Treatment is for more than trying to survive as long as possible. Its to control the manner of death and quality of life. Only God knows the moment and manner. He is jealous in this, and defies our attempts to predict his wish.
