Medical Signatures

Watched once-ABC-hit-show "Brian's Song"? Heart dropping huh?

The film recalls the details of the life of Brian Piccolo, a football fanatic/player stricken with terminal cancer. 

Terminal cancer, terminal cancer, eesh, doesn't sound that scary without cancer. When an illness - like cancer - is terminal, it means that it is permanent and will remain until death. (A.K.A End of Life care situation)

Cancer tumors and/or cancer cells at a part of a body to another spreading while the other is cured, going through uncountable numbers of surgery and Chemotherapy. 

Somehow I still don't get how chemotherapy is performed, medicine based? or physical based? All I know is that, it kill cells, by a huge amount and the side effects of it are just threatening.
