when my gram decided not to do chemo the hospice nurse basically explained to me that chemo is like your body playing a game of chicken against the cancer. basically making itself a really hostile place for anything that’s trying to grow rapidly and hoping that the cancer is destroyed before the rest of you.
it’s not that strange, chemotherapy for example kills a lot of things that are not cancer
