I was also diagnosed with cancer and non-treatment was never an option.

I was diagnosed with uterine cancer 10 years ago, at 58. Had a hysterectomy, no further treatment needed. I have greatly enjoyed the last ten years and look forward to many more.
Had I decided "it was my time" and passed on the surgery, I would probably be dead now (and it wouldn't have been an easy death!)
To each her own, I guess ...
