Chemotherapy treatment

My aunty was recently treated for tumor in ovary and removed the uterus and ovary. The organs went for biopsy and the reports say that there is no malignant cancer cells in the body, but the oncologist has suggested 2 - 3 sessions of chemotherapy to prevent cancer in future. Will it be a high dose chemotherapy ? Will there be hair loss also??
