Chemotherapy is not radiation guys.... Chemotherapy is a drug. It can be delivered with many different ways such as through the mouth, through the skin, injection into different tissues and injection into the tumor. So basically a shot, pill, or cream. Chemotherapy has alot of adverse effects however is an efficent form of slowing down cancer or removing it.
Radiation is completely different. |
