Chemotherapy is an IV solution that they drip into your veins. It contains cytotoxic fluids, and is designed to kill certain cells.
Radiation treatment is designed to shower cancerous cells with a dose of radiation, in the hopes that it will kill the cells.
Both treatments carry a serious risk of side effects. They are often used together as kind of a double whammy against cancer.
Hope this helps!

Cemo is drugs given by either IVs or orally and radiographic
treatment is treatment given by xray . My mother had both
when she had cancer.
