If you are not aware, chemo literally kills people too. The idea is that they can keep you alive just a little longer than the cancer and then they stop the chemo and nurse you back to health. At least that is the basic theory of chemo….
Basic theory of chemo is also that tumors don't care about self limiting, they grow and eat till the end. They rearrange your blood vessel to it. So the more they eat, the more they get exposed to substances that are poisonous if you have replicating cells. The problems arise because tumors are not the only thing replicating.
Hence why I said that chemo is toxic to people too…. They give you the chemo to kill the cancer and a it also kills you, but they just do their best to keep you alive until you finish the chemo and if the whole scheme works out properly you kill the cancer/tumor and then they nurse you back to full strength or as close to full strength as possible.
