Do you need a lot of strength to go through chemo sessions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends but best to: Chemotherapy refers to chemical therapies that go throughout the bloodstream. There are many different kinds and different cocktails are used for different tumors. Doses and specific drugs are tailored to the health of the patient. Some regimens are very easy to tolerate with only mild affect on blood counts while others are more difficult. It is always best to be as strong as u can in prep
