What will you do if your doctor tell you that you get cancer I have seen a woman suffering a lot from her breast cancer in the ward, after that, when I was waiting for my pathological report, I think this way, if the result is bad, I would never cut a part of my own body and I would never take the chemotherapy, I will quit the job and take all my money to enjoy the rest of my life on a trip.

Every case is different. Not all cancer is the same. You have to listen to your doctors in a critical way. You don't necessarily need to accept everything they say. You read. You talk to friends. You talk to other doctors. You get a second opinion. Hopefully, you have a personal physician you trust, and you talk to your own doctor about what the specialists have said.

It's your decision to make. It's not the doctors' decision. 

If you are waiting for a pathology report yourself, my sympathy goes out to you. It's rough.

I do not think you should decide in advance that "if the result is bad, I would never cut a part of my own body and I would never take the chemotherapy." It depends on the kind of cancer and how it progresses, what stage it is, how "aggressive" it is. It depends on whether it is a kind of cancer for which doctors have surgery or treatment that has a good record of being effective.

Doctors can't cure everything. Sometimes "the cure is worse than the disease." But not always! 

If you're facing test results, good luck. Do not make any personal decisions until you know the outcome and have taken plenty of time to talk about the various treatment options... and talk about them with more than one doctor.

I would never take chemotherapy if this happened to me, my grandmother

also suffered from chemotherapy more than breast cancer itself.
