Chemotherapy is not always used to treat cancer. It depends on the cancer you have and where it is. Sometimes surgery and radiation together are more then sufficient to irradiate the disease. A common myth about chemo is that you’ll always lose your hair or be nauseated the whole time - but its not true in all cases. The best thing is to ask your doctor why you’re on the chemo, what the side effects are, and has it been proven to help with the cancer that you have. Be an informed consumer and don’t always assume the doctor has all the right answers.
