Chemotherapy

yes

Chemotherapy patients often experience taste aversions to particular foods because they undergo a process of learning called classical conditioning. Classical conditioning occurs when a particular thing that doesn't actually elicit any reaction (called a neutral stimulus) is paired with something that naturally elicits some reaction (called an unconditioned stimulus), and then an association develops between the original stimulus and the reaction (after which the neutral stimulus is then referred to as the conditioned stimulus). The chemicals used in chemotherapy (unconditioned stimulus) are what naturally cause nausea and vomiting; however, sometimes food eaten soon after receiving chemotherapy treatment (neutral stimulus) can be associated with the feeling of illness caused by the chemo, then leading the patient to develop an aversion to that particular food item (now a conditioned stimulus). Typically, classical conditioning requires multiple pairings of the unconditioned and neutral stimulus; however, learned taste aversions can develop after a single pairing, because the body is biologically prepared to develop these.

Metastasis

A concomitant illness is one that is occurring while another illness is occurring. For instance, if a person is struggling to control diabetes and then develops an ear infection, the ear infection is said to be a concomitant illness.

Chemotherapy goes through the body and destroys cells. Cancer cells are the weakest so they die first. The goal of chemo is to kill as many cancer cells as possible without killing the patient i.e. healthy cells. But unfortunately healthy cells die too. White blood cells are the first to go. Which is why they take your blood every week, to monitor your counts. There is a shot which can increase the white blood cell production rapidly so you can resume therapy without much break.

Yes, cancer can cause fever. Cancer can cause changes in the immune system that makes a person at risk for infections that cause fever. Cancer cells themselves can also stimulate the immune system to produce fever without infection.

Zofran (Ondansetron) is an anti emetic usually prescribed for nasuea/vomiting caused from surgery or chemotherapy/radiation.

In general, the answer is yes, but talk to your doctor first. It is important to talk to your doctor about all medications you are taking while on chemotherapy. Keep a current list or, better yet, bring all medications in their bottles to your oncologist for review. There may be medicines given in the clinic on the day of chemotherapy that may be similar to Xanax and taking an additional Xanax may cause too many side effects of sleepiness or respiratory suppression.

Chemotherapy is exactly done for destroying rapidly growing cancerous cells.These are

all done by chemicals.Thus Chemotherapy is created from chemicals only not from radiotherapy.

Yes, there are some chemotherapies that can be given with kidney disease. The oncologist and pharmacist will work together to decide on a the particular kinds of chemo and doses given to make it as safe as possible. As with any health care issue, every decision is made on a risk versus benefit model. If you have bad kidneys but very bad cancer, it may be worth it to accept a type of chemotherapy that might harm your kidneys more in order to keep you from dying from the cancer. And, as with any health care issue, make sure you discuss your concerns with your doctor.

Unfortunately the side effects of chemotherapy can be fairly troublesome. One such side effect is depression of the immune system leaving the patient more vulnerable to infections and sickness. Chemotherapy can also be physically tiring or even exhausting. Some consider this worse than others but chemotherapy can also lead to hair loss.

Chemo therapy is intended to treat cancer. In some cases, it may cure it- that is, it gets fixed, goes way and stays gone. In some cases it might slow or stop the growth of a cancer. That means it is still there, but it has stopped getting worse. Some cancers cannot be treated with chemo.

you could die from toxicity

There are some dietary recommendations for chemotherapy patients in the related links.

Absolutely! Please don't get rid of your cat at a time when you need your friend around for love and support. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after tending to the litter box. If you get any scratches wash with soap and water right away and you may need to be more on the diligent side about using an antibiotic ointment. If you notice any scratches that look infected be sure to show your doctor.

Louis s. goodman and Alfred gilman invented chemotherapy actually!!!

Some types of chemotherapy lower your red blood cell and/or white blood cell counts. It is important to monitor the white blood cell count to know if a patient is at risk of developing infections. Low red blood cell counts, also known as anemia, also needs to be monitored and can be treated to help prevent fatigue. Both counts, and also platelets, the third of the blood cell lines, are monitored with a CBC (complete blood count) on the day of chemotherapy and sometimes weekly during treatment.

My sister went through two years of Chemo and she says Soda is pretty good.

Yes , sometimes it is done before the surgery, it depends on the size of the tumor. Chemo will shrink the tumor, therefore a better chance of getting all of the tumor and surrounding tissue.

If cancer cells have invaded the central nervous system, then chemotherapeutic drugs may be instilled, through a needle in the brain or back, into the fluid that surrounds the brain.
