Lung cancer just confirmed.

All the tests I’ve had I suspected it would be bad news. It was confirmed as lung cancer and it has spread to lypodes  down between the lungs. They can not cure it, they said they could try and keep it at bay. Now waiting for appointment with oncology, My question is and I’m not being negative, I am 74 very slim do I go for treatment?
