Is chemotherapy actually very toxic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Chemotherapy is a broad term for a large number of drugs used alone or in combination. Also the doses vary depending upon the disease. The are also variations in individual's susceptibility. There are also a large number of drugs used to combat side effects. I can only say that it can be anything from very toxic to mild depending on the situation.
