Yes cancer may spread during chemotheapy. The reason why is not caused by the chemo itself however. Dr. Gunter Blobel won the Nobel Prize for medicine and physiology back in 1989 I beleive it was. He discovered how cells communicate and what gives them their address or zip code so to speak. This is what keeps individual cells in place. If this ability is lost cells may migrate to other parts of the body and allowed to grow. This is how you wind up with breast cancer in the liver and so forth. This is call matastasis. I am not certain about that spelling.
Chemo does have side effects however and those can be quite bad too some people. There is something you can do to help with those side effects and it is natual and safe but most importantly non toxic. You can help protect your healthy cells and tissues while helping the chemo work better and more efficeintly. Please read the following artical I am provideing for you. If you need any futher assistance I am here to help as much as possible.

Sadly it can.
In addition, Chemotherapy has trouble reaching some areas of the body. There is a blood-brain barrier that "filters" the blood as it reaches the brain. This is a major problem for treating brain cancer as most Chemotherapy treatments are blocked by the barrier.
