Chemotherapy treatment uses medicine to weaken and destroy cancer cells in the body, including cells at the original cancer site and any cancer cells that may have spread to another part of the body.
If you have metastatic breast cancer and chemotherapy is part of your treatment plan, your doctor may use different tests to determine how well the chemotherapy is working and how you're handling the chemotherapy: 1  blood cell counts. 2  blood tumor marker tests. 3  bone scans. 4  chest X-rays, or X-rays of other parts of the body.For more information on the specific characteristics of each cancer stage, visit the Breastcancer.org Stages of Breast Cancer page.). Chemotherapy is used after surgery to remove the breast cancer to get rid of any cancer cells that may be left behind and to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back.
