Antibiotics are fairly safe, although their misuse or overuse can be disastrous. They also kill "friendly" bacteria that inhabit every inch of your body. These friendly colonies help keep malicious bacteria from getting a foothold.

Chemotherapy can be a very difficult experience. Although the target is cancer cells, the whole body is poisoned. This and radiation is why cancer patients so often lose hair, are nauseated, etc.

That said, bear in mind that just because someone has a diagnosis of terminal cancer does not mean that the diagnosis is necessarily correct. It might not actually be terminal. There are cases of people who have been diagnosed with terminal cancer who survived much longer than expected. Cancer does not always progress as expected, the disease can have an unexpected remission.

Russell Portenoy, M.D.: It is important to distinguish the direct effects of chemotherapy as it circulates in the body from the long-term effect that can continue after the body has eliminated the chemotherapy through normal metabolic pathways. Most chemotherapy is eliminated from the body fairly quickly, and the fatigue that patients experience after treatment is a prolonged effect that continues long after the chemotherapy is gone. A person should not assume that feeling fatigued means that the chemotherapy is still in the body. As we said before, fatigue has many possible causes and the experience of severe fatigue should be evaluated so that these causes can be identified and treated.
