My friend who had breast cancer also says she would not do chemo again. She is into non-convential medicine, but alongside traditional medicine as complimentary not alternative therapy. Chemo is harsh and many of its side effects are permanently debilitating. Death is also permanent, but when the chemo is "just in case there's metastasis we might have missed" I can see why people who have been through it once, say not again.
