YES. There are a lot of auto immune diseases that use chemo such as rhumatoid arthritus. I have a friend with MS that just did chemo. Some non cancerous blood/bone marrow disorders. A bone marrow/stem cell transplant no matter the reason – the chemo/radiation is what kills the old bone marrow/stem cells to make it possible for the new cells to engraft

There are some chemotherapy agents prescribed for other conditions.
I know that some rheumatoid arthritis patients get chemo.
