I'd make her undergo chemo or an alternative treatment option (if available) if I were her mother; supporting and caring for her all along the way. No way would I resist on principle and let my kid die or be snatched from me by the state. No way.
The 17-year-old is not an adult yet and her form of cancer is highly treatable. Allowing it to go untreated is like encouraging suicide. I couldn't do that.
I've seen chemo save the lives of a few people I love, one of whom was initially resistant to it and is now so glad she agreed to the treatment. I hope this girl's chemo goes well and she winds up feeling the same way.
