See below...: Chemotherapy effects the bone marrow which produces blood cells. It kills the lymphoma cells, but also affects other cells which are rapidly dividing. The bone marrow has rapidly dividing cells that provide the body with the cells necessary in your blood. The chemotherapy suppresses the cell division in the marrow, and the blood count will drop.
