Chemotherapy Treatment
Normally, our cells grow and die in a controlled way. Cancer cells keep forming without control. Chemotherapy is a drug therapy that can kill these cells or stop them from multiplying. However, it can also harm healthy cells, which causes side effects. These powerful medications circulate in the bloodstream and directly damage the cells that are actively growing. The treatment is based on the type, grade, and severity of cancer. During chemotherapy patients may have side effects. Healthy cells usually recover after chemotherapy, so most side effects gradually go away. The course of therapy will depend on the cancer type, the chemotherapy drugs used, and the treatment goal and body response. Patient may get treatment every day, every week or every month. Patient may have breaks between treatments so that the body has a chance to build new healthy cells.
