It would depend upon what the odds are in the treatment. FOr instance, my Dad had non-Hodgkins Lymphoma when he was 79. He successfully went into remission after undergoing chemo.
My mom has beaten cancer 6 times (breast, bladder and colorectal) through surgery, radiation and chemo.
But, at this point, if my Dad's cancer returns, we will not undergo treatment again. He has alzheimers and has very fragile health. He's also 86 years old. He is in an Alzheimers care unit at a nursing home, because he is a wandering risk.
So, to me, the odds and the quality of life make all of the difference in the world.
