Chemo Therapy
Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses one or more anti-cancer drugs as part of a standardized chemotherapy regimen. Chemotherapy may be given with a curative intent, or it may aim to prolong life or to reduce symptoms.
How Chemotherapy works-
- Doctors typically administer chemotherapy in cycles, with rest periods between 1–4 weeks.
- Cycles have rest periods in between to allow a person's body to recover.
- An individual might have treatment on one day, followed by 1 week's rest, then another 1-day treatment followed by a 3-week rest period, and so on.

It depends on the kind of cancer you have and how far along it is. Reasons to get chemotherapy are :
Cure: In some cases, the treatment can destroy cancer cells to the point that your doctor can no longer detect them in your body. After that, the best outcome is that they never grow back again, but that doesn’t always happen.
Control: In some cases, it may only be able to keep cancer from spreading to other parts of your body or slow the growth of cancer tumors.
Ease symptoms: In some cases, chemotherapy can’t cure or control the spread of cancer and is simply used to shrink tumors that cause pain or pressure.
