Yes. They do.
What would happen is you would need to find a doctor who would treat you the way you want. There is no sense in an Oncologist who treats with chemotherapy spending the time and effort to treat someone who doesn’t agree with his course.
For people who get cancer that requires this kind of treatment, this is one of the first conversations you have.

Do you have an MD in the U.S. that does what you want?
My wife had a wonderful oncologist treating her for multiple cancers. She had colon cancer, resulting in 7 inches of her colon being surgically removed. And she had non-hodgekins lymphoma cancer which was spreading throughout her body. The doctor had her undergo chemotherapy and some radiation treatments, some of which was done daily for a month to treat specific lymph nodes. My wife was drained of energy and in pain, and she told the oncologist that he didn't know what she was enduring. He said he did, and that he sympathized with her. Then my wife found out that the doctor was himself suffering from cancer, and he underwent surgeries and passed away within 6 months. It's been over a dozen years now, and my wife recovered and hasn't had a need for treatments over the last 6 years. All thanks to the regimen recommended by her oncologist.
