thank you and pleased to answers you.
Most cancer patients are treated with some form of
chemotherapy, and because patients are now surviving longer, the long-term effects of chemotherapy have become a major issue. A common long-term toxicity for patients is fatigue, for which there is no magic pill or simple solution. One potential remedy is exercise. Survivors with profound long-term treatment-related fatigue might benefit from testing for autonomic dysfunction by an electrocardio physiologist. Chemotherapy, can result in damage to the peripheral nerves, which in some cases can become permanent.
Peripheral neuropathy can cause weakness, numbness,
tingling and stabbing or burning pain, normally in the hands and feet. Some patients treated with chemotherapy experienced peripheral neuropathy one to three years after treatment. A recent study presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology showed that about one-half of cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced neuropathy had symptom relief from
duloxetine (
Cymbalta), an antidepressant drug. In another hand, studies have shown that behavior modifications, yoga or
acupuncture could be helpful for a subset of patients. “Anything that is good for a patient’s overall health such as exercise is certainly worth encouraging. For cardiovascular toxicity, there is no treatment that can repair heart damage induced by chemotherapy and patients are treated similarly to patients with traditional
heart disease.
