I have gone through breast cancer operation. It was in stage 2. My doctor suggested that I have to go thorough kimo therapy too. But knowing its side effects I am wondering should I take it or not? Please give your opinion about less painful options.

If you have a stage 2 disease then u would benefit by taking chemo. More factors about your disease need to be studied. Avoiding chemo would be risk. You could consider risk profiling of your disease. They study many genes in that study to tell you your risk and sensitive chemo drugs. It comes with a cost.
