Very different: Chemotherapy varies for the type of treatment. It can go from very little to very disturbing. It can cause one to lose their hair. Can cause mouth ulcers, generalized weakness , nausea , vomiting and long term chemo can cause one to develop a neuropathy. Discuss each kind with your doctor to know what one is getting into.
