Abstract
The metaphor of cancer treatment as a battle can be problematic when cancer treatment fails and the end of life nears. The decision to end treatment, if it comes, is not a failure, either of the patient or the physician, but instead should be viewed as a natural segment of the journey and a desirable change in the focus of care.
