Chemotherapy (chemo) is the treatment of cancer with drugs that can destroy cancer cells. Often called “anticancer” drugs, chemo can be given in several different ways, including through an IV or as a pill. The type of chemotherapy given depends on the type of cancer, whether chemo has been given before, and if the person has other health problems. The type of side effects your friend might experience will depend on what chemotherapy drugs he will receive.
You can learn more about chemotherapy from the National Cancer Institute: http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/coping/chemotherapy-and-you/page2
When you have a friend with cancer, it is often difficult to know how to help. Asking your friend what he needs is a good first step.
