Even with chemo I shouldn't have to make any changes to my diet." "I'll only need chemotherapy treatment before receiving my bone marrow transplant."

Answer 1

Answer:

"I'll only need chemotherapy treatment before receiving my bone marrow transplant."

Explanation:

Acute lymphocytic leukemia is a type of cancer in the blood and bone marrow. It affects the white blood cells in our blood. This is rare disease and it creates immature blood cells in our body.

The female client who is 29 years old understands about the treatment when she says that she will need chemotherapy before the bone marrow transplant. Most of the clients receive chemotherapy before they undergo bone marrow transplantation.

Most of the women older than 26 years of age  cannot bear children after they undergo treatment because theses women experience the early onset of menopause. Clients who takes or chemotherapy must avoid  fresh fruits as well as vegetables should be cooked properly to avoid contamination from bacteria and germs.
