What is chemotherapy?

The health portal Mayo Clinic explains that chemotherapy is a drug treatment using powerful chemicals to eliminate fast-growing cells in the body and is often used to treat cancer.

Although it can be effective in treating all types of cancers, it comes with side effects, some mild, some treatable, and some causing serious complications.
