Yeah, no. I went through chemotherapy when I was 2. One of 4 kids in the US to have the cancer I did at the time. Chemo and surgery to remove the tumor was what saved me. 40% chance of surviving it and here I am decades later. Chemo is shit, but so is cancer and Iā€™d do it again if I had to.

Cannot wait to see the responses to this.

And what evidence do you have to suggest that your odds were better with chemo AND surgery, rather than just surgery? Anecdotal evidence is persuasive but inconclusive. "Because the doctors said so"? OP made it clear that chemo will shrink tumors without actually helping anything long-term.

I think we can all agree surgical removal has a pretty great track record vs cancer.
