Breast cancer can kill anyone. If the cancer was advanced and the patient had chemo it is still possible that the cancer may pop up in another spot. Chemo doesnt equal a cure.
**************
Actually, it is possible to cure cancer with chemotherapy. With Breast cancer, it is generally not expected that chemotherapy will, all by itself, cure the cancer, although it has probably happened in rare cases. Today, the best chance of a cure for most breast cancers is the surgical removal of the diseased tissue.
********************
For the best chances of survival, depending on the type stage and grade of the cancer, a combination of surgery, chemo, and radiation may be needed. Best advice is listen to the oncologist, they went to lots of school and have years of experience.

∙ 14y agoYes, a person can die from chemotherapy. A person can die from many different types of medical treatments. Every type of treatment needs a decision made with the doctor and patient about whether the benefit of the treatment is worth the potential risks and side effects. A doctor should not put a person's life at risk to treat, for example, a wart; however it would be reasonable for a doctor to use a relatively dangerous chemotherapy to treat a dangerous cancer.

How does chemotherapy treat colorectal cancer?
Chemotherapy is a common treatment for colorectal cancer. It involves using drugs to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing and dividing. Chemotherapy can be given in different ways, including orally (pills) or intravenously (IV) through a vein. The drugs travel through the bloodstream to reach cancer cells throughout the body. Chemotherapy for colorectal cancer may be used: Before surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy) to shrink the tumour and make it easier to remove. After surgery (adjuvant chemotherapy) to kill any remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of cancer coming back. Alongside other treatments like radiation therapy or targeted therapy for more advanced stages of cancer. The specific chemotherapy drugs used, the schedule of treatment, and the duration depend on several factors, including the stage and extent of the cancer, the individual's overall health, and any previous treatments they may have had. Chemotherapy can cause side effects, such as fatigue, nausea, hair loss, and increased susceptibility to infections, which can vary in severity from person to person.
