For many patients, receiving chemotherapy is an essential part of their cancer treatment. Chemotherapy uses various drugs and medication to kill cancer cells. In combination with surgery, radiation, and other treatments, it can be very effective in easing symptoms, prolonging patients’ lives, and driving cancer into remission.
If we have recommended chemotherapy as part of your treatment, you probably have many questions. We’ve assembled this page to give you some basic information on how chemotherapy works, what side effects it carries, and what you can expect from your treatment. However, we understand that you will probably have many more questions. We urge you to visit the websites of the National Cancer Institute (part of the National Institutes of Health) and American Cancer Society for more information. You can also ask our staff members any questions you may have at any point in the process.
