Need more info: Would need to have much more information on the type & stage of breast cancer. All this information helps the medical oncologist work with the patient to determine what treatments are most likely to be needed, helpful & successful. You need to discuss this with your oncologist.

Maybe: As with most other cancers, it depends on many factors but it would be safe to say that in certain situations, chemo is an integral part of the treatment for breast cancer. You need to talk to an oncogist about it. The goals of therapy should justify the potential toxicity. Best regards.
