Hi Worriedmom,
There are many different courses of chemo to suit individual cancers. The following is a good site (altho' it is sustained by a drug company, I think it is geared toward information and not completely devoted to promotion) :

and here is a link to a good article:

http://www.medicinenet.com/chemotherapy/article.htm

Hope this is a helpful start to your search for information.
Best,
Jessica
