Please tell me, could you go from chemo to life suport?

Unclear question: Please ask your question more clearly. Chemo can be stopped anytime if it is not working. Life support is not useful if the Cancer is terminally advanced. Ask your oncologist to guide you further.

Supportive?: I do not understand your question. Do you mean supportive therapy as in Hospice care? When and if chemotherapy fails, a patient can opt to focus on comfort. This is a perfectly acceptable decision but should not be made in haste. If this is not what you were asking, please clarify.
