But did you know about chemo cravings or cytotoxic poo? 

Today we look at some of the unexpected things chemotherapy does when you're attempting to fight off cancer, things that can last for a long time after the chemicals have left your system. 

This episode was originally published on February 11th, and is part of our 2020 Best Of series.
