Question 2: Is it harmful to stay with your family during chemotherapy? If they don't go in,
It doesn't make much difference
If you go in,
Is influential.
Question 3: How harmful is chemotherapy to human body? Chemotherapy is one of the "pillar means" in the treatment of malignant tumor, and its application art lies in whether it can maximize the efficacy of chemical drugs and reduce the toxic reaction, that is, "use enough drugs and stop taking drugs in time". However, it is often difficult for patients to grasp the degree of "timeliness": either they can't stand the side effects of chemotherapy and don't fight, or they don't lift it; Or take it for granted that chemotherapy can prolong the survival of patients and continue to fight aimlessly. In fact, how long chemotherapy should last is regular, which depends on three factors: the nature of the tumor, the therapeutic drugs and the patient's physique. The nature of tumor determines the state of chemotherapy. Tumors with rapid cell proliferation, such as some highly malignant lymphoma, small cell lung cancer, choriocarcinoma, etc. It grows rapidly and is sensitive to drugs, and it is easy to be "completely destroyed" by chemotherapy. It is characterized by "progress without retreat". Chemotherapy is the main treatment, and it is necessary to "eliminate all evils" at the beginning of treatment. If you give up halfway and make it come back, it will often induce drug resistance of tumors, which is difficult to completely control. Therefore, the principle of treatment should be "full treatment without treatment". If physical conditions permit, we must give enough consolidation chemotherapy to strive for recovery. Contrary to the above situation, the cells of another type of tumor proliferate slowly and are not sensitive to chemotherapy. Such as live cancer and renal clear cell carcinoma. Therefore, the principle of chemotherapy should be "stop the pain at the point", that is, chemotherapy is often used to deal with the crazy growth of tumors and alleviate the pain of patients, rather than a means to strive for a complete cure. This kind of tumor rarely uses chemotherapy alone, but combines targeted therapy and immunotherapy to achieve the best effect. Dynamic examination is helpful to determine the time of chemotherapy. If the patient has undergone surgery and the main tumor has been removed, the role of the drug is to remove scattered tumor cells that may remain in the body. Chemotherapy at this time is called "adjuvant chemotherapy". Postoperative medication should not be extended indefinitely, but should have a reasonable period to ensure that it is the "basic insurance" for patients and will not cause unnecessary pain. On the other hand, if the tumor has "high risk factors", such as high malignancy, late clinical stage and rapid tumor growth. More chemotherapy cycles are needed. The "high risk factors" of each tumor are different and have some characteristics. Timely detection and evaluation is one of the essences of chemotherapy art. With the development of science and technology, people have also found some "markers" that can prompt tumor recurrence and metastasis at an early stage. Dynamic observation of them is helpful to evaluate the risk of recurrence and decide whether to stop or continue chemotherapy. Palliative chemotherapy has improved the quality of life of patients. For patients with tumor that recurs or metastasizes after surgery or can't be removed during treatment, chemotherapy is mostly to shrink and stabilize the tumor in order to strive for long-term maintenance. Chemotherapy at this time is called palliative chemotherapy. In fact, it is difficult to uniformly stipulate the time of "palliative chemotherapy" because this kind of chemotherapy will be carried out in "human tumors". Modern treatment has also developed into a mode of inhibiting the rapid growth of tumor with chemotherapy, maintaining long-term stability with new drugs, and achieving the maximum anti-tumor effect, the minimum side effects and the best quality of life with "quick use and slow use", which complement each other. Therefore, the question of "how long is chemotherapy" should be "different from person to person, from illness to disease, from medicine to medicine", and it cannot be generalized. In other words, it is necessary to eradicate the "hot pursuit" at the right time, but also "gentle rain" when maintenance is needed, and at the same time, it is necessary to cooperate with various means such as immune support, palliative care and psychological care to keep cancer patients in the best living condition.
Question 4: Is there radiation in the body after chemotherapy? Is there radiation to other people around you? What are the side effects? Under normal circumstances, in order to achieve the effect of chemotherapy, some radiotherapy drugs will be added while doing chemotherapy, so there is a certain amount of radiation.
Question 5: The harm of chemotherapy experts' advice to cancer patients
"The cancer patient13 was scared to death,13 died of overdose, and finally13 died of ineffective treatment." Although there is no scientific basis for this statement, it illustrates a truth: if patients can remain optimistic and take correct treatment actions, it is possible to overcome cancer and prolong their lives.
Speaker: Liu, male, 5 1 year old, professor of medicine, has been a doctor for 28 years. He is good at treating tumors with combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine, especially digestive tract and respiratory system tumors such as liver cancer, pancreatic cancer and lung cancer. The national and provincial scientific and technological projects undertaken successively mainly include: "Treatment of large liver cancer with combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine based on external irradiation" and "Modern demonstration study of Shenmai injection". 1990 won the first prize of Shanghai medical science and technology progress, 199 1 won the second prize of Shanghai science and technology progress and the third prize of Chinese medicine science and technology progress (ranked second). In recent years, he has published more than 40 papers. Editor-in-chief of comprehensive therapy for liver cancer. He is currently a member of china association of traditional chinese medicine Medical Doctor Research Association, china association of traditional chinese medicine Cancer Professional Committee, China Anti-cancer Association Anti-cancer Drugs Professional Committee and China Anti-cancer Association Traditional Medicine Professional Committee.
How to choose and treat cancer?
Positive attitude, optimism and initiative are the beginning of all treatments.
The progress of modern medicine shows that many cancers are not incurable. After active treatment, some patients may live with tumors all their lives or live in peace. As long as they review on time and adhere to the treatment of "strengthening the body", they can still enjoy life like healthy people. Therefore, after having a correct understanding of the occurrence and treatment of cancer, cancer patients and their families should be prepared for a long-term battle, cultivate an optimistic and correct attitude towards life, establish a positive belief in victory, and create a relaxed and happy living environment for patients.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sudden exuberance of spirit or repeated persistence of emotions will damage the function of human viscera, lead to disorder of qi and blood, and cause diseases. Many investigations by modern medical psychologists have also confirmed the close relationship between mental factors and malignant tumors. It has been pointed out that major life events that affect the occurrence of cancer are generally six to eight months before the onset of cancer, and depression, disappointment and sadness may all be precursors of cancer. Previous studies have also found that death, parting sadness, depression and anxiety can be seen about a year before the onset of cancer.
Clinically, many patients will show various negative emotional changes such as fear and anxiety, loneliness and depression, anger and hatred after learning that they have cancer. There is an "imaginative therapy" that can be carried out by yourself under the guidance of a doctor. The patient hints some ideas to himself, such as imagining how he has defeated cancer, has defeated cancer, etc., which may improve the immune function in the body.
Usually, patients should try to choose the pleasure in life and follow it, and abandon it through pedantry. Don't blame others for the many changes brought by Cancer, and be pessimistic about the world. Instead, we should strive to cultivate a "indifferent and nihilistic" attitude towards life, avoid excessive emotional changes and spirits, be cheerful, optimistic and generous, "take it in stride" and let ourselves have good "coping ability". Mentality is absolutely important to the therapeutic effect.
Take your time and make a five-year "battle" plan.
Treating cancer, a stubborn chronic disease, requires patients to have a peaceful mind. Doctors should also make efforts to make a full-course treatment plan for patients (tentatively "five-year treatment plan"), tell patients the possible treatment process, and let patients gain the greatest confidence. It takes time, wisdom and faith to overcome the disease, and it also requires the full cooperation of all parties.
Cancer patients are actually the leaders of the whole treatment process. If the process of cancer treatment is regarded as a long and arduous battle, doctors are only the chief of staff and/or the minister of operations, mainly providing strategies and tactics for marching operations and executing operational orders; The patient's husband or wife is a political commissar, who assists the commander in deciding the right to advance and retreat; Children should be deputy commanders or political commissars; The patient is the commander-in-chief of the whole army, who is in charge of the life and death of the army, selects the plan of the chief of staff, and determines the specific operational plan and minister according to the actual situation of his own army to direct the operation. Patients should not lose confidence because some symptoms have not been alleviated. Instead, with the help of doctors (chief of staff and/or minister of operations), we should look at the overall situation, understand the possible checkpoints and changes during the five-year anti-Japanese war, and take various preventive and coping measures.
This modern treatment mode allows patients to participate in the treatment of diseases and take responsibility, thus improving their understanding of their own diseases. & gt
Question 6: Does chemotherapy have radiation on nursing staff? There is indeed some radiation damage. You see, most medical staff are thin and white, and that kind of white actually has some radiation effects.
Question 7: What harm will chemotherapy do to people's health? Hair will fall out after chemotherapy, and white blood cells in the body must reach the standard before chemotherapy. Not without it, not with more. If you want to reduce the harm, you'd better take some drugs or other things under the guidance of a doctor. To increase white blood cells, it is best to eat pigeons, which can increase the white blood cell content in the human body. )
