What exactly is chemotherapy and how does it work?
In: Biology
Chemicals that halt cell division. Any and all cells stop dividing. This process is important for all surface cells and hair cells….it’s why skin looks awful, hair falls out, and you puke, pee, and poop blood.
It stops cancer cells (which are basically cells that cannot stop dividing) so that radiation can target and kill them and then be cut out by surgery!
Basically:
– chemo stops the cells dividing
– radiation kills the cells
– surgery cuts the mass out
Hopefully leaving you cancer free!
