Chemotherapy treatments can’t differentiate between cancer cells and healthy cells. That’s why chemotherapy harms or kills healthy cells, as well as cancer cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Many common side effects of chemotherapy are caused by the treatment’s impact on healthy cells. These side effects include anemia, a weakened immune system, hair loss, and nausea.
