Cancer Treatment Using Chemotherapy Methods

Hello Hermina friends

I often get questions from patients asking about healing cancer sufferers. What is the treatment method? Can it be cured? No need to worry about great fear and anxiety, Hermina's friend. This treatment needs to be carried out and supervised by a specialist who is competent to monitor the progress of cancer healing.

Come on, let's look at the explanation of curing cancer using chemotherapy

What is chemotherapy? Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer cells. Our body tissue consists of billions of cells, where these cells grow and develop further. This process continues if there are cells that need repair. Normally, body cells continue to grow in a controlled manner and die. However, in cancer, cancer cells grow uncontrollably. Therefore, chemotherapy is needed to stop the spread or slow the growth of cancer cells
 
Benefits of Cancer Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is used when cancer has spread and causes serious symptoms in the body. Cancer chemotherapy has the following benefits:
 
  • To cure cancer completely (curative chemotherapy)
  • Helps make other treatments more effective, for example it can be combined with radiation therapy (chemoradiation therapy) or used before surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy)
  • Reduces the risk of cancer recurrence after radiotherapy or surgery (adjuvant chemotherapy)
  • Relieve symptoms when treatment is not possible (palliative chemotherapy)
 
 
 Chemotherapy side effects
 
Chemotherapy is considered effective in treating many types of cancer, but side effects appear later. This is because chemotherapy drugs not only kill cancer cells, but also damage healthy body cells, such as blood cells, skin cells and stomach cells. The following are unpleasant side effects that occur after chemotherapy, such as:

  • Pain
  • Hair loss
  • Risk of infection increases
  • Mouth pain
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Dry, sore or itchy skin
  • Diarrhea or constipation
  • Often feel tired
  • Loss of appetite
  • Fever
  • Bruising occurs easily
  • Fertility disorders (infertility)
  • Anemia
  • Hearing problems
 
Remarks: many of these side effects can be treated or prevented. These side effects disappeared after stopping treatment.

There are several ways to deal with side effects naturally, such as exercise and paying attention to good nutrition for cancer patients.
