Need opinions, please

I had mets with my scans & started on Gemzar, which turned out was not doing much, so switched to navalbine in July. Anyway, all total, I have been on chemo for the past 7 mos. Navalbine has realy taken its tole on me with days I am so tired & so much pain, I have lain on the couch crying.

I had scans Thursday, and I only have mets deep in the back of my neck, very small, but they have not really changed since last scans. Everything else is gone! I am sick of chemo, but my doc is going to want me to do at least 2 more rounds. This puts me into Christmas (I can never do the 3 in a row, usually 2 off, 1 of, 1 on, then off 1, then start all over.) I am thinking about taking a break for Christmas. The only scary thing is that from May-July, the mets doubled in size.

I want to keep everything at bay, but I feel I need a break.

What would you do??
