chemo day

So mom started Chemo today and was very nervous. She was so afraid to be getting chemo and didn't understand why she needed it. I did find out some more information about it though.
Cyclophosphamide is used to treat various types of cancer. It is a chemotherapy drug that works by slowing or stopping cell growth. Also known as Cytoxan this drug is used in many types of cancer, kidney disease, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, leukemia as well as vasculitis. There are quite a few other conditions that it does treat.
