Chemotherapy usually shows some complications such as hair loss, nausea and vomiting, which is a normal phenomenon, because chemotherapy drugs kill cancer cells as well as normal cells. Hair tissue cells are very active. Cancer cells are also a kind of fast-growing cells. Therefore, chemotherapy drugs will kill all active cells in the body regardless of good or bad. This is why chemotherapy causes hair loss. Patients should adjust their mood and maintain a positive attitude. Most patients show uncomfortable performance after chemotherapy, showing that hair loss affects their appearance and image. It is inevitable that they will feel depressed, afraid, lost, lonely or helpless, causing depression. In fact, hair can grow out again after stopping chemotherapy. Therefore, we suggest that we must maintain an optimistic attitude, actively do a good job in post-chemotherapy nursing, calmly face diseases and various complications, which is very critical.
