What is Chemotherapy?
One medication that is frequently used to treat cancer is chemotherapy. It assists in preventing the growth and division of cancer cells. It functions by destroying cancer cells before they have a chance to spread to other body parts. The chemotherapy medicine stops the cancer cell’s capacity to grow and divide, keeping the patient cancer-free.
Depending on the stage of cancer a person has, chemotherapy may or may not be successful. Chemotherapy treatments at the last stages of cancer may be uncomfortable, more intense, and expensive over a long-term period.

What should I expect from receiving chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy can be administered in a clinic, at home, in a nearby hospital, or at a health center. The medications may be usually administered, intravenously, as a shot, as a cream, or through a catheter (by IV). Your specific treatment plan will be determined by the type of cancer you have, the chemotherapies used, the intended outcomes, and how your body reacts to the medications.
Chemotherapy can be given on its own or in conjunction with other medical procedures. You could receive treatment daily, weekly, or monthly. To give your body a chance to create new, healthy cells, you might take a rest in between treatments.
