Publisher description
Chemotherapy Relief Combating the negative side effects of chemotherapy on skin, hair, and nails and various debilitating physical reactions to the drugs The three benefits that can be derived from participating in the chemotherapy treatments are: .....Curing your cancer Prolonging your life by slowing the growth of the cancer and keeping it from spreading Reducing the severity of the symptoms which includes reducing pain Chemotherapy side effects are caused by the chemo drugs harming healthy cells and can either be acute or chronic. There are at least 24 possible side effects to the procedure that must be considered in relation to the advantages/benefits when deciding whether or not to participate - some of which can be life threatening. This booklet does not and cannot deal specifically with the more serious complications of this procedure. If you believe any of these pertain to you and your situation, consult your doctor or health care professional. This booklet provides suggestions for ways to improve your overall health - thus helping you cope with the overall procedure - as well as various things you can do to help your body deal with some of the less serious, but still annoying and deleterious, side effects of chemotherapy. Some of the chemo side effects discussed include: hair loss in relation to the prescribed drugs and how to mitigate its effects, what to do about dry skin, how to reduce nail damage during chemo, and a relatively new help for peripheral neuropathy called K-Laser treatments that is a non-invasive procedure as compared with the typical usual treatment with addictive pharmaceuticals. Chemotherapy Relief is written in a straight-forward, easy to understand language so anyone with an interest in the subject matter can quickly grasp the concepts. However, self-diagnosis and treatment are highly discouraged. Always discuss any concerns about your chemotherapy treatments or side effects with your doctor
