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.

If a patient already taking chaemotherapy treatment suffered with severe jaundice what will be the treatment?
Before treatment, the first step is to ascertain if the bilirubin increase is resultant from hepatoxicty caused by the chemotherapy, or if other causal factors are at play. Note that many of the meds used in chemotherapy are processed through the liver, and an increase in bilirubin (which is what causes jaundice) is a logical cause. However, jaundice can be caused by other agents and processes as well. Once the causes are determined, the decision must be, do we continue on the chemo and treat the liver issues another way, or cease chemo? Possible answers are: * Cease chemo. * Change the chemotoxic agents and/or dosages so as to cause less bilirubin production. * Continue the chemo course, and administer diuretics and possibly painkillers, to treat the jaundice symptomology, and continue the chemo course. * Change other medications that may be causal. * Modify patient habits that are dangerous for the liver (alcohol is one that comes to mind).
