Book Description | More than one in four people in England will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives, and most of these will require chemotherapy. This has made chemotherapy one of the most common types of treatment. Many people may think of the word "chemotherapy" as a scary word, but the reality is that this impression must change today. The discovery of advanced modern drugs not only helped increase the rate of recovery from the disease, but also increased the patient's life expectancy during the period of chemotherapy itself.
The book deals with the concept of chemotherapy, the effectiveness and impact of drugs and their types. The book also discusses how to deal with the side effects associated with this treatment, such as a general feeling of illness, fatigue, stress, and hair loss.
In addition to the above, several other topics will be covered, such as:
Effects of chemotherapy on sexual life and fertility
Instructions on diet and exercise Other ways a patient can live with chemotherapy Vacations and work Clinical trials as a glimmer of hope for the future This book was written by a well-known cancer specialist, and through it, he provides reassuring and practical advice on how to live with chemotherapy with complete confidence and complete safety. |
