Chemotherapy

What if the cervical cancer has spread?

When cancer spreads, chemotherapy is usually recommended.  Chemotherapy uses drugs in the form of pills or intravenous injections that kill any cells in your body that are dividing quickly.  Cancer cells divide rapidly.  However, so do some other healthy cells, like those in your mouth, your stomach, your intestines, your bones, and your hair.  Therefore, the drugs can also kill healthy cells in these places.  When chemotherapy kills these healthy cells, the result can be mouth sores, tiredness, weakness, hair loss, diarrhea, and an upset stomach.
