Cancer patients usually undergo chemotherapy, but everyone knows that the side effects of chemotherapy are very serious, especially during chemotherapy, the drugs will kill all cells regardless of whether they are good cells or bad cells. It will bring a very heavy burden and great pain to our patients. So how long does chemotherapy take to complete? How long does it take to return to normal after chemotherapy?
Tumor is a very broad concept, and different tumors require different chemotherapy times. But no matter which one it is, chemotherapy will not be less than 2 courses. As for how long it will take to finish chemotherapy, it depends on the patient's physical ability and the progression of the tumor. For example, if the patient's white blood cells are too low during chemotherapy, resulting in damage to liver and kidney functions, and the patient cannot adjust to normal values ??in the later period, the chemotherapy process should be interrupted at this time to prevent chemotherapy death due to low white blood cells.
Generally during or before chemotherapy, the doctor will formulate a chemotherapy process. The course of treatment should be three months, six months or longer. Of course, this needs to be considered based on the patient's constitution. How long it will take to return to normal after chemotherapy needs to be determined according to the basic chemotherapy plan. Some patients' cancer cells have spread more severely and require six months of chemotherapy. For some patients with more serious conditions, chemotherapy did not play any role, but metastasis occurred. Chemotherapy will cause longer recovery time. These patients cannot undergo chemotherapy and can be treated with interventional traditional Chinese medicine.
As for how long it will take to return to normal after chemotherapy, it needs to be viewed according to the disease. Generally speaking, recovery can take as short as a few weeks or as long as months or years. Strictly speaking, how long it takes for a patient to return to normal after chemotherapy mainly depends on the patient's personal physique, the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs, and the stage of the cancer. If the patient's physique is relatively good and the daily care work is done well, the speed of recovery will also be Be faster. If your physical condition is relatively poor and the toxic side effects of chemotherapy drugs are relatively strong, the recovery time will be very long, or even complete recovery will not be possible.
In order to shorten the recovery time, patients should pay special attention to nursing care during chemotherapy, such as drinking more water and eating more nutritious food. In clinical practice, many patients report that even drinking water during chemotherapy makes them nauseous, so they reduce the amount of water they drink. However, drinking more water can help eliminate toxins and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy. Therefore, in order to make yourself feel better quickly , even if it is nauseating, it is best to endure it and drink it. As the patient's body weakens during chemotherapy, the patient's physical strength and immunity will also weaken. At this time, timely nutritional supplementation is needed. For patients undergoing chemotherapy, ensuring a balanced nutritional intake can allow the body to quickly return to its initial state.
In short, because the individual differences between patients are relatively large, the response to chemotherapy will be strong or weak, and the recovery time will also be long or short. If chemotherapy has seriously affected life, the patient can seek treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, and let the traditional Chinese medicine doctor formulate a reasonable treatment plan based on the physical condition, so as to improve the quality of life and reduce the physical and psychological burden.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that while chemotherapy can control symptoms, it can also damage normal cells of the human body and cause a series of complications, such as hair loss, gastrointestinal reactions, damage to liver and kidney function, and diarrhea. , allergic reactions and suppression of bone marrow hematopoietic function. Different chemotherapy regimens, different patients, and different physical states require different recovery times. During chemotherapy, effective measures should be taken to reduce the damage caused by chemotherapy to the patient's body. In fact, nowadays, we cannot rely solely on chemotherapy during chemotherapy. Many patients use traditional Chinese medicine to reduce side effects and have achieved very good results. During the chemotherapy process, chemotherapy has relatively large toxic and side effects, which can cause a series of unexpected side effects and can easily damage normal organs and lead to organ failure. During chemotherapy, pure natural Chinese herbal medicine can be used for treatment, which has a unique effect on improving the condition of cancer patients. Obvious therapeutic effects can be seen in a short time and the patient can fully recover. In short, as long as it can help patients alleviate the various sequelae caused by chemotherapy, patients can try it. After all, only in this way can the patient be cured as quickly as possible.
