Chemotherapy (journal)
Hey there kiddo! Today we're going to talk about something called chemotherapy.
Have you ever heard of cancer? It's a disease that makes your body's cells grow and multiply out of control. It's not very good for your body and can make you very sick.
Chemotherapy is a special kind of medicine that can help fight cancer. It works by attacking the cancer cells and stopping them from growing and multiplying.
But why not just use normal medicine? Well, cancer cells are really tricky and can hide from regular medicine. Chemotherapy is extra strong and can find those sneaky cancer cells and beat them up.
But there's a downside to this super strong medicine. It can also hurt your healthy cells while trying to get rid of the bad ones. That's why people who take chemotherapy might feel really sick for a while.
Sometimes people who have cancer need surgery to remove the tumors or part of their body affected by the cancer. But even after surgery, there might still be some cancer cells left behind. That's where chemotherapy comes in. It can help make sure any remaining cancer cells are gone.
Chemotherapy usually comes as a liquid that's given through a needle into a vein in your arm. Sometimes it can be taken as a pill or through a shot.
Overall, chemotherapy can be really helpful in treating cancer, but it can also be tough on your body. But with the help of doctors and nurses, people can get through it and hopefully beat that sneaky cancer for good!
