How Chemotherapy Works

[TheOfficialCzex]

Thanks for this! My mother was diagnosed with Stage IV Type-A lung cancer a little over a month ago. She started chemotherapy a couple of weeks ago, so this information is very relevant to me and definitely simplifies the concept enough for me to adequately understand it.

questions for science: teaching me the answers to questions i didn't know i have & am now fascinated by. <3

[weirdpuzzledude]

I remember in the h3 podcast in where totalbiscuit (may the emperor bless his soul) said that chemo was basically about hoping that you kill the cancer faster than you kill the patient. Those words have stuck with me for a long time.

[nnnnnbbbb]

My old school friend didn't survive the blood cancer despite hard battle....he was just 17....10 years of togetherness...may God give his soul eternal peace.

Our doctor also told us that the chemo drugs, in addition to directly destroying cancer cells as you mentioned, "mark" them in some way for radiation to target and destroy them. Interesting stuff!

[alexwasdreaming]

[sherdest]

I love your channel man and I'm glad your still making videos after you lost your videos, keep it up and pursue for more knowledge

[lightningii]

We learn more here on this channel than a full 4 years of science in high school

It's like dropping nuke on a city and hoping the good guys survive and are able to rebuild the population

[Sirpokemaniaco]

You never fail to amaze me with your videos, keep up the good work!
Also please consider using a gray backdrop since white can feel like too much sometimes

My buddy friend who had been diagnosed with breast cancer in year of 2020. I am so worried and nervous about my best buddy friend because my grandfather passed away from esophagus cancer on October 30, 2018.

2:49 - Thank you for explaining this. Also, not mentioned here, it's not just vomiting that can occur. It's unfair that I went into this without any warning that chemo can also cause GI tract issues down on the other end. Although, I think the most common side effect I get is tired. I was told a few months ago at the local cancer center than by 2025, most chemo will be oral.
