  • Chemotherapy – What It Is, How It Helps
    Chemotherapy What It Is, How It Helps What’s in this guide? This booklet will explain chemotherapy. Chemotherapy (chemo) is one of the most common treatments for cancer. Chemo may be used alone or with other treatments. If your treatment plan includes chemotherapy, knowing how it works and what to expect can help you make good decisions as you prepare for treatment. If you have more questions, ask your cancer care team to help you. It’s always best to be open and honest with them. That way, they can help you decide which treatment is best for you. Questions about chemotherapy What is chemotherapy? The word “chemotherapy” is what drugs that treat cancer are often called. But, not all drugs used to treat cancer work the same way. Be sure you know what kind of drugs are in your treatment plan. If your treatment plan includes traditional or standard chemotherapy, knowing how it works and what to expect can help you make good decisions as you prepare for treatment. How is chemo used to treat cancer? Many different kinds of chemo drugs are used to treat cancer – either alone or with other drugs or treatments. The drugs are different in what they are made of, how they are given, how strong they are, and what side effects they have. Your doctor figures out the best treatment options to offer based on the kind of cancer you have and how much cancer is in your body (this is called the cancer’s stage). Your cancer care team will talk to you about the goals of chemo before you start treatment.
