What is chemotherapy (chemo)?
What is radiation?
Sometimes kids with cancer can't come to school. Why not?
Chemotherapy is a medicine that kills bad cells but also kills your hair cells. Radiation is everywhere, it is a process in which energy is given off in the form of particles and rays. Kids with cancer can't come to school because there are a lot of germs in places like school, and they can get sick easily around other people who are sick.
ReplyDeleteChemotherapy is a medichine that kills un-normal bad cells but it also kills you hair cells. Radiation are these particles or rays that are everywhere, there in soil,TVs,computers and even in our bodies.
ReplyDeleteSometimes when cancer people/kids come to school or other places, other kids or adults that are sick and they dont know it that can get cancer kids sicker because thay have alot germs on them.Also some kids think that cancer can spread thats why they dont come to school..... NOOO that is not true cancer cant spread
ReplyDeleteRadiation sounds like a hard ting to have. But at least it is helping people get better from cancer. I don't think I could ever have radiation done to me without being scared.
