Chemotherapy treatment for blood cancer

What is Chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy is a medicine which kills any fast-growing cancer cells that are dividing and reproducing out of control. Cancerous cells replicate and divide at a faster rate than normal cells. Chemotherapy tries to control this abnormal behavior by killing such cells. This treatment also attacks the healthy cells of one’s body, which is why cancer patients undergoing treatment usually experience side effects such as nausea, tiredness and hair loss.
