How's the chemo?


Your health, my mission. Your recovery, my joy.
Chemotherapy is very uncomfortable. First, nausea and vomiting are common and painful symptoms. Chemotherapy drugs can irritate the gastrointestinal tract, causing intense discomfort. Frequent vomiting not only makes the body uncomfortable, but also affects the patient's eating and nutrition intake, further weakening the body's resistance. Second, fatigue is very significant. Patients may feel extremely tired and weak, as if all their energy has been drained away, which makes daily activities extremely difficult and seriously affects the quality of life. Moreover, bone marrow suppression is also a problem that cannot be ignored. Chemotherapy can inhibit the hematopoietic function of bone marrow, resulting in a decrease in white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Leukopenia increases the risk of infection and makes patients vulnerable to illness. Erythrocytosis can cause anemia, dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms; thrombocytopenia may lead to bleeding tendency. In addition, hair loss is also a problem for many patients. Hair loss in large quantities causes a huge blow to the patient's psychology, affecting self-confidence and emotional state. Chemotherapy may cause oral mucositis, resulting in oral pain and ulcers, affecting eating and speaking, and causing great discomfort to patients. Chemotherapy is a difficult process, and patients need to endure both physical and psychological pain. Medical staff should give adequate care and support to patients to help them reduce the degree of discomfort as much as possible. At the same time, it is also expected that medical progress will continue to develop more effective treatments with fewer side effects.
