Hi,
You have not mentioned what type of cancer it is .Treatment usually depends on the type of carcinoma and the extent of infiltration of the surrounding tissue.
The side effects of chemo generally depend on the type of therapy being offered. Most chemotherapy side effects cease after treatment. Although uncommon, some treatments may produce long-term effects.
There are measures you could take to minimize side-effects of chemotherapy.
You can get more information on the following web-site:http://www.chemocare.com/managing/
If you really want to stop it and go in for radiotherapy you will have to discuss this with your concerned doctor.
