chemotherapy patient
Oncology ward resident
A chemotherapy patient is someone undergoing chemotherapy—treatment using powerful drugs to kill cancer cells or slow their growth.
The term encompasses people at various stages of treatment, from newly diagnosed to long-term survivors: The oncology ward had twelve chemotherapy patients.
Because chemotherapy often causes visible side effects like hair loss and fatigue, the phrase evokes vulnerability and resilience simultaneously.
