How painful is chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy is very painful.

First, chemotherapy can cause severe physical discomfort. Patients often experience nausea and vomiting, which are almost universal reactions. Strong discomfort can make patients eat harder and lead to more weakness.

Second, fatigue can accompany them. The fatigue that goes deep into the bone marrow makes patients almost unable to move, feeling weak and sleepy all day, seriously affecting the quality of life.

Moreover, bone marrow suppression is also a common problem. The reduction of white blood cells, platelets and other blood cells can reduce immunity, easily lead to infections, and may also cause bleeding and other dangerous situations.

Moreover, hair loss can also cause problems for patients. Hair falls off into a bunch, which has a great impact on the psychology of patients, especially female patients, who feel great pain and inferiority.

In addition, chemotherapy can also cause oral mucositis, diarrhea and other adverse reactions, each of which brings great suffering to patients.
