Thats exactly right. The side effects of chemo usually are damage to other organs. The chemo creates a toxic environment that will kill you but they dose it so it only "nearly" kills you in hopes the cancer will leave town.I would research everything else possible, depending on diagnosis. From what I understand and correct me if I'm wrong, chemo poisons your whole body and if successful the poisons side effect is killing the cancer.
What is the prognosis? What side effects did you have and how bad were they?I just finished up with 3 rounds of chemo and 6 weeks worth of radiation on my neck about 3 weeks ago. I have squamous cell carcinoma of the lymph node. I was very apprehensive about the chemo treatments. It has been a very tough road.
