Many chemotherapy medicines act on fast-dividing cells. This can also affect healthy cells, such as those in the mouth or hair follicles.<\/p><\/section><section><h2>When it is used<\/h2><p>Chemotherapy may shrink a tumour before an operation or reduce the chance of recurrence afterwards. In other cases, the aim is to control the disease or ease symptoms. The plan depends on the type and stage of cancer and the patient&#8217;s general health.<\/p><\/section><section><h2>How it is given<\/h2><p>Depending on the medicine, chemotherapy can be given through a vein or taken by mouth. It is often given in cycles with time to recover between doses. The care team monitors response and side effects through appointments and tests.<\/p><\/section><section><h2>What to discuss with your care team<\/h2><p>Fatigue, nausea and a sore mouth are possible. Side effects vary with the medicines used. Ask what the aim of treatment is, which tests are planned and which symptoms require urgent contact with the team.<\/p><\/section><\/div><p class=\"ogk-tg-source\"><a
