- Summary:
-
This booklet has been prepared to help you understand more about chemotherapy, one of the main treatments for cancer. Chemotherapy uses a range of drugs to kill cancer cells or slow their growth. This booklet also includes some information about other drug therapies such as targeted therapy, immunotherapy and hormone therapy. We cannot give advice about the best treatment for you. You need to discuss this with your doctors. However, this information may answer some of your questions and help you think about what to ask your treatment team. This booklet also includes information about possible side effects of chemotherapy and ways to manage the most common of these. It may also be helpful to read the Cancer Council booklet about the type of cancer you have.
