and break cells and make side effects through out the body.
Chemotherapy drug

in your skin, hair, nails, the lining of your digestive system, and
your blood cells.

doctor or chemotherapy nurse can tell you what may happen.
• But they can't tell beforehand exactly what treatment will be
like for you. It isn't something you can easily predict. Side
effects are worse for some people than others.
Low blood level cells

cells, red blood cells and platlets you have. This can mean that
you

anything.
