The duration of side effects depends on the individual’s physical condition and chemotherapy regimen. Usually, they will remit or disappear after chemotherapy is finished, but there are cases when they last for months or even years. How to deal with common side effects? Anemia Ensure adequate rest and maintain a balanced diet. If you experience loss of appetite, choose high-calorie, high-protein foods, eat small, frequent meals, don’t wait until you are hungry, and drink juice or soup when you don’t want to eat a main meal. Move appropriately before meals and occasionally change your daily eating place, for example: occasionally change a restaurant to eat. Diarrhea Eat fewer and more frequent meals, 5-6 meals per day, have some foods with high salt content, and make sure you drink 8-12 glasses of water per day. Reduce the consumption of foods high in fiber, such as: celery and corn, and choose more low-fiber foods, such as: carrots and potatoes. Stay away from drinks that are too hot, too cold, or contain alcohol, foods that can cause intestinal flatulence, and spicy, greasy, caffeinated foods or drinks. Constipation Adjust your diet, eat fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, and insist on proper daily activity. Neurological side effects Numbness or tingling sensation in hands and feet, muscle aches, loss of balance or shaking sensation, hearing loss, dizziness, memory loss or confusion. Contact your doctor immediately when neurological problems occur, and be sure to treat them promptly and properly, seeking pain relief treatment from your doctor if necessary. To avoid falls caused by poor balance, wear sneakers or shoes with rubber soles or use a cane to help coordinate your balance. Remember to wear gloves when washing dishes after meals and avoid touching cold water. Hair loss Choose a good wig before chemotherapy, move gently when washing hair, pay attention to protecting the scalp after hair loss, pay attention to keeping the scalp warm, and avoid using products that may damage the hair, such as: hair dye, curling iron, etc. Bleeding Use a soft-bristled toothbrush when brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, move gently and carefully when wiping your nose, and avoid using sharp things. Protect yourself from collision injuries in your life, try to wear socks and gloves whether at home or out, and if you are accidentally injured and bleeding, don’t panic and keep pressing on the bleeding part until it stops.
