    Diarrhoea is also a common reaction to chemotherapy in cancer patients, which is generally mild and can be taken orally**; A small number of people may be severe, and if not treated in time, it can cause severe dehydration and ion disturbances, and should be seen promptly. Certain medications can cause more severe constipation. Chemotherapy patients with constipation may eat more foods high in fiber and, if necessary, laxatives.

    Chemotherapy, as a very commonly used systemic anti-tumor modality, may cause some systemic reactions. The main physical reactions are gastrointestinal reactions, such as nausea and vomiting, as well as anorexia and decreased appetite. Chemotherapy may be accompanied by antiemetics, reaction-reducing drugs.

    Don't eat too greasy in your diet, otherwise it will aggravate the reaction of the digestive tract. In addition, chemotherapy may trigger a reaction to hair loss, which will have some psychological effects on the patient, but the hair loss caused by chemotherapy is reversible, and after the chemotherapy is over, the nutritional status improves, and the hair loss will grow again. Chemotherapy may also cause myelosuppressive reactions, such as decreased white blood cells, anemia, etc., which may not be visible on the surface of the body, and if it is severe anemia, there will be anemia.

    In addition, chemotherapy will also have some allergic reactions, such as rashes on the body, etc., which require prophylactic use of anti-allergic drugs**.

    The full name of "radiotherapy" is "radiation", and it is one of the methods of cancer. In addition to radiation, there are also chemotherapy and surgery, which are currently common methods for cancer, and different methods have different effects. Radiation** is actually a method of killing cancer cells by inhibiting them one by one.

    It is also sometimes combined with chemotherapy and surgery to help patients reduce pain or prolong their lives.

    The main difference between radiotherapy and chemotherapy is that radiotherapy is actually the use of radioactive elements to scan and irradiate a part of a human tumor. The main radioactive elements include uranium-235 and cobalt-60, which kill harmful cancer cells through radiation; Chemotherapy is also what we call medicine**.

    The drug enters the body's bloodstream and is used to remove cancer cells from the body. However, these two cancer methods are very harmful to various tissues and organs of the human body.

    In fact, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have a great deal of power, but radiotherapy is more harmful to the human body than chemotherapy. Radiation usually produces localized cystitis, such as ulcers, radiation esophagitis, and radiation-induced cystitis. These *** generally recover after radiotherapy and do not cause much harm to the body.

    For some of the vital organs of our body, radiation does not give them a serious ***.

    In the event of radiation, the first tissues of the human body are damaged. At the beginning of the radiation, ** will turn red, and then there will be certain wrinkles. After a while, it will start to dry out and the tissue will become much darker than before.

    It's like basking in the sun, at first, it will be red and rough, but after a while, it will peel off, and this is still a lot of things. It is best to give feedback to the doctor in time to solve the problem.

    Although the combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy has many advantages, it also has many disadvantages. Radiotherapy does not reduce the toxic effects of chemotherapy, and chemotherapy does not reduce the damaging effects of radiotherapy, such as chemotherapy inhibits the bone marrow of the whole body, and radiotherapy also produces local myelosuppression, and patients are often unable to continue due to low blood phase of bone marrow suppression**. When radiotherapy is done for thoracic tumors, the occurrence of radiation pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis and radiation pericarditis in patients after chemotherapy increases significantly, and sometimes the dose of radiotherapy has to be reduced, which increases the difficulty of radiotherapy.

    Chemotherapy is very toxic to the liver, kidney and gastrointestinal tract, and the damage of radiotherapy to these parts is also quite large, so when synthesized, the dose of radiotherapy is greatly limited, and it is difficult to increase the dose for insensitive tumors, and the effect is poor. After chemotherapy, it also has a great impact on the body's immunity, and the physical condition is also greatly damaged, making it impossible to use a large **field during radiotherapy. Therefore, chemotherapy drugs with less toxicity to the radiotherapy organs should be selected as much as possible.

During chemotherapy, to be honest, no matter how delicious it is, you can't eat it, any chemotherapy hurts your stomach, so you can eat as much as you can.
