Chemo drugs 'destroy brain cells'

Quote:
Drugs used to destroy cancer cells may actually be more harmful to healthy cells in the brain, research suggests.
A team from New York's University of Rochester found several types of key brain cell were highly vulnerable to the drugs.

They say it might help explain side effects such as seizures and memory loss associated with chemotherapy - collectively dubbed 'chemo brain'.
Quote from BBC News Website

Bloody hell, "we can kill your cancer but it might screw up your brain" is this goin to stop some people electing for chemo?
