AFAIK if the radiation is low enough it will only attack potentially dangerous cells and leave the healthy ones in tact

Nah, it’s mostly done with symptomatic patients, it’s no longer recommended for routine screening. Now it’s recommended to discuss the risks (false-positives leading to invasive testing /complications) and benefits

I promise you they’re not

There’s tons of different kinds of chemo, each targeting different types of cancer, and the way the work is by killing cells in your body. The hope is that they are killing malignant cells more than normal cells because they are dividing more frequently, but they’re not specifically targeting them.

Cancer is something that happens when a cell develops a mutation, causing it to replicate rapidly, eating up all the energy in your body. These cells can pop up at any time. There are certain cancers that can be genetic, and therefor entrained in your DNA, which is impossible to delete (for the most part).

This so called “pre-emptive chemo” would do nothing but make you feel very sick, make you prone to devastating infections, and give you potentially life altering side effects.

Additionally, any physician prescribing this would likely lose their license
