How long does it take to get back to normal after radiation and chemotherapy

After the completion of radiotherapy, it takes about six months for patients to return to normal. The specific recovery time of the patient is affected by the radiotherapy program, personal constitution and other factors. Radiotherapy is a kind of malignant tumor treatment that is widely used, and it will bring some negative effects to the human body, such as nausea, vomiting, anemia, platelet drop, white blood cell drop, hair loss, nerve numbness and other problems. Generally speaking, about one week after radiotherapy, 75% of the patients can stop nausea, vomiting and other adverse reactions; about two weeks after radiotherapy, through the injection of white blood white injection and other methods, nearly 80% of the patients can improve the decline in white blood cells; 1-2 months after radiotherapy, through recuperation and medication, the patient’s anemia and platelet drop problem can be improved. 3-5 months after radiotherapy, patients may gradually recover from hair loss. Some problems such as nerve numbness and neuralgia due to radiotherapy are more difficult to recover. After the end of radiotherapy, patients should cooperate with physicians for recovery treatment, do not be overly anxious, relax and establish confidence in treatment.
