You’ve been told you have cancer. You’ve studied your treatment options, and you and your doctor have agreed that chemotherapy is your best choice. Now you may have questions about chemotherapy treatment.
The American Cancer Society has answers for you. But remember that, along with reading about your treatment, you can also count on your doctor and nurse to answer questions.
At the end of this document, you will find a glossary that defines some of the words and terms used by your health care team. The words that are in italic type the first time they are used are also in the glossary. You can use the glossary to help you better understand the talks you have with your health care team. Open and honest talks with your cancer care team are the best way to understand what is going on with you, your body, and the cancer.
