Understanding Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy involves the administration of anticancer drugs. After entering the bloodstream, these drugs travel throughout the body and kill all malignant cells, both at the initial site of the tumor (start point) and in the diffused areas (metastasis). Chemotherapy can be given alone (intravenously as a serum) or in combination with other medicines (such as targeted medicines such as Herceptin) before or after surgery, along with or after radiotherapy. Depending on the type of disease, the patient receives one or more medications. These drugs attack cancer cells and stop them from growing, but they may also do a little damage to healthy cells in the body, which is inevitable. On the other side, Iran has great medical infrastructure with lowest cost. In the following, we want to delve in chemotherapy in Iran.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

What is chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy (also called chemo) is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to destroy cancer cells. It works by stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells, which grow and divide quickly. It can also harm healthy cells that divide quickly, such as those that line your mouth and intestines or cause your hair to grow.

How often will I receive chemotherapy?

Treatment schedules for chemotherapy vary widely. How often and how long you get chemotherapy depends on your type of cancer and how advanced it is, the goals of treatment, the type of chemotherapy, and how your body reacts to chemotherapy.  You may receive chemotherapy in cycles, which is a period of chemotherapy treatment followed by a period of rest.

Will I get side effects from chemotherapy?

You may have a lot of side effects, some, or none at all. This depends on the type and amount of chemotherapy you get and how your body reacts. Before you start chemotherapy, talk with your doctor or nurse about which side effects to expect.

What should I not do during chemotherapy?

Stay away from strong smelling foods to avoid aggravating any disorders of taste. Avoid fatty fried, spicy and overly sweet foods, as they may induce nausea. Avoid refined sugars (including raw, brown and palm sugar) as well as refined carbohydrates as most tumors prefer glucose as a source of energy.

How soon do I lose my hair with chemo?

Hair usually begins falling out two to four weeks after you start treatment. It could fall out very quickly in clumps or gradually. You’ll likely notice accumulations of loose hair on your pillow, in your hairbrush or comb, or in your sink or shower drain. Your scalp may feel tender.
