Chemotherapy is essentially a bet that the drugs will kill the cancer faster than you. Because ultimately, cancer isn't a virus, bacteria, fungus, parasite, nor even a prion (this one is nightmare fuel) -- it's your own cells acting as a parasite. This reason alone makes cancer horrific to treat as it is.

There are multiple types of chemo. There's not just 1 chemo drug and how it looks can be all over the board.
