Chemotherapy Recovery – Caring for Yourself after Chemo
Chemotherapy is the most common treatment for cancer. While it may be effective, those who underwent the procedure went home with little to no information about what life will be after it. Only a few are aware of how they can efficiently recover from the side effects of the procedure.
These side-effects include:
- Tiredness
- Feeling of constant sickness
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Hair loss or thinning
- Mouth ulcers
- Sore mouth
- Changes in the sense of taste
- Numbness
- Pins and needles affecting the hands and feet
- Shortness of breath
- Changes in your skin
- Changes in your sense of hearing
- Loss of appetite
Fortunately, there are ways to fight these side-effects and ensure a faster chemotherapy recovery.
