Chemotherapy
What exactly is chemotherapy? One of my staff have to undergo chemo for the next 5 months, but she is not sure what it entails. Also, how will it affect her abilities to work as we would obviously not want her to be under any additional stress during this difficult time. She is an office worker.

Anonymous, chemotherapy is when they give strong drugs in a drip and/or as pills to treat cancer or diseases like cancer. The side effects and stresses involved depend on the drugs given and the type of disease that is treated. If you can let me have more detail I might be able to help more. Good luck.
