About Hurt
An occasional hurt is normal, but pain that goes on for a long time may indicate a problem. Pain is the way that the body warns us that something is wrong. Although no one likes to experience pain, it can be helpful in diagnosing a problem. Without pain, you might seriously hurt yourself without even knowing it, or you might not realize you have a medical problem that needs some form of treatment. Once you take care of the problem, the pain usually goes away.
About Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy or Chemo is a cancer treatment which uses chemicals to fight and kill cancer cells. It comes in different forms and can be taken intravenously or orally in a pill form depending on the type and dose needed. Chemo therapy is often invasive and causes serious side effects. It sets out to kill cancer cells but also kills good cells along the way. It cannot determine the good cells from the bad. It must be given in doses because one big dose can actually be fatal.
