First off... *hugs you and your beautiful, darling puppy*
So, as an oncologist, I definitely have ~views. Of course, this is just my opinion. It sounds like she has metastatic disease, which would be incurable. If there was a chance of cure I think it would be a harder decision (not that it's not difficult now) but in this case I think I would recommend keeping her as comfortable as possible since the treatment will only make her sick and weak (and she won't understand why she's being made to suffer) and it won't cure her anyway. Yes, it may give you a bit longer with her, but at the expense of her comfort.
My heart goes out to you. This is never an easy decision and no matter what you decide I'm holding you both in my thoughts. *more hugs*
