Can You mentally support a Chemo therapy patient without affecting yourself?
Everything an individual does affects them; good or bad. To support a Chemo patient means to be there through the good and bad times they may have. Chemo (depending on how much Chemo they will be getting and the length of time) can leave the person feeling sick to their stomach; weak; sometimes depressed and in some cases the loss of hair; perhaps eyebrows and eyelashes can cause further depression. If you feel you can be there 100% for them then you should be. Many Chemo patients are amazing and take their treatments with few complaints.
