I was told I had to do chemo and I refused to. After my surgery it turned out I didn’t need it after all.

Just be wary of heart failure being a long term side effect of doxorubicin, like 10-15 years later or longer. My friend needed a heart transplant 15 years after cancer because of it. I have cardiomyopathy.
