    A lot of great information (including chemotherapy terms) about chemotherapy. Although your nurses and your oncologist will give you a lot of information before you start chemo, it is still a confusing and sometimes anxiety provoking experience.

    Reading the information on this website will help to make sense of many questions you may be having, such as:

    1. How is your chemotherapy given?

    2. What is a nadir?

    3. How do I know if my chemotherapy is working?

    4. What kind of side effects will I have?

    5. Why do the nurses have to take blood so often? (This question is answered in the “nadir” link).

    6. How do the oncologists know that this chemotherapy will work for my cancer?
