Yes, there are some chemotherapies that can be given with kidney disease. The oncologist and pharmacist will work together to decide on a the particular kinds of chemo and doses given to make it as safe as possible. As with any health care issue, every decision is made on a risk versus benefit model. If you have bad kidneys but very bad cancer, it may be worth it to accept a type of chemotherapy that might harm your kidneys more in order to keep you from dying from the cancer. And, as with any health care issue, make sure you discuss your concerns with your doctor.
