Can chemotherapy help thicken blood?

Chemotherapy destroys actively growing cells such as hair, lining of stomach, and blood cells...because cancer is a tumor of fast growing cells. this is why people on chemotherapy get nausea and vomiting, and hair loss and become anemic. there are products that can be taken to increase RBC production, erythropoetin. This is what athletes use to increase their RBCs and therefore oxygen carrying capacity Therefore your blood doesn't get "thicker", you lose red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets etc. with chemotherapy.

Why hair and nail grow if they are made up of dead cells?

There are cells in the epidermis (outer layer of the skin) which are alive and as they fill with keratin, they "push" forward and so the hair and the nails "grow". This appearance of growing is actually a sign that the cells at the skin are growing. The hair and the nails are dead. They can be cut as there is no feeling in them. If a person cuts the nails too short, that will hurt and bleed. See link below:
