Passing this on from the Diana Wynne Jones lj community:
Diana Wynne Jones, after much consultation with her husband and specialists, has decided to abandon chemotherapy (which is serving only to make her feel very ill indeed) and resign herself to whatever may follow. Her senior oncologist fears she has ‘months rather than years’, but we all hope that – as once or twice before – Diana can still surprise the medical profession. May the good luck return.
It was also mentioned on the DWJ mailing list.

Oh no! That’s so very sad. Of course it sounds like. the right decision, but still very very sad regardless.
