Chemotherapy is radiation entering the body in the attempt to kill the carcinogenic cells. However, in the same attempt to kill the bad cells, it also kills the good cells. Which is why the patient is very ill and undergoes the physical changes that they endure. This is also why some people do not survive for very long after wards. It just wipes them out.
