At the beginning, you are welcome, dear, since I have loved this day to share with you a serious and important topic for the treatment of cancer, a demonstration of chemotherapy to benefit all of us and to spread information all over the world.


Chemotherapy

Is the treatment of drugs and drugs for the elimination of cancer cells, has been used drugs in the treatment of many diseases for the past 40 years or so, and there are currently more than twenty species in use, the characteristics of chemotherapy that is distributed through the blood throughout the body, the largest to eliminate cancerous cells may be deported from the primary tumor to another member of the body.


Chemotherapy

Grow normal cells in a systematic way, but when cancer occurs cells growth begins and divide to form new cells without treatment control chemotherapy destroys these cancer cells and stop their growth, and the impact of chemotherapy on some healthy cells, and this effect appears in the form of side effects but healthy cells are Repairs itself after the end of treatment.


Some chemical drugs have a stronger effect if used with other drugs. Chemotherapy is often used as a "regimen" of more than one type of chemical drug. Chemotherapy is used to achieve a number of targets depending on the type and stage of the tumor:


1-To eliminate the cancer is where the patient has been cured of the disease that there was no evidence of any cancer cells.

2-To control cancer is preventing cancer from spreading, slowing growth and eliminate any cancer cells that may have spread to other parts of the body.

3- Relieve symptoms caused by cancer, such as pain.


Anytime chemotherapy is used

Chemotherapy is today considered the most important means for the treatment of tumors, and may be used alone or in combination with other therapeutic forms, initial Kjerahh or radiation therapy, the choice of the best types of treatment and the best medicine separately for each person according to his condition and, in some cases, chemotherapy is the optional treatment is In many cases.

In other cases, chemotherapy may be used to keep the disease under control, and by choosing to resort to this treatment, the patient chooses the opportunity to help control the illness and the different benefits of chemotherapy from one patient to another doctor unit is the one who can decide the best way to treat each patient.


How to control cells

Cells are abnormal cells grow out of body control, and characteristics they multiply rapidly and rapidly multiplying cells are more susceptible to the effects of drugs than most normal cells, and chemical drugs work to destroy these abnormal cells directly.

Or to stop their ability to divide, or in some cases emulates natural food and work to starve those cells until you die, and unfortunately, some normal cells also multiply so quickly that drugs affect those cells as well.

Include cells that may be affected by chemotherapy, bone marrow, mouth, stomach and hair cells, are the effects that occur to the members of the body responsible for most of the side effects of toxicity of these drugs, however, the cells have a huge capacity to reproduce and return to normal, and usually effects remain toxic for the drugs period Just short.


How do you give chemical drugs?

Way stop by prescription doctor and general elements are given chemotherapy, one of the following ways:


1-Oral.

2-By injection into a muscle.

3-Intravenous injection.

4-Needle under the skin.

5-Direct skin fat.

It can also be given in the cavities of the body in the bladder and in the fluid surrounding the spinal cord and brain.


What the patient feels during treatment

It is difficult to determine what will be treated by the patient during treatment and health problems that may arise on it, because of the different types of drugs used in chemotherapy and also because of the individual differences between the patients and the ability of endurance and state of health in general.

Most patients undergoing chemotherapy suffer fatigue easily knowing that different feeling tired "Bmkdarh" from one patient to another.


Pain associated with chemotherapy

Usually there is little companion to inject chemotherapy drugs with the exception of the sting of the needle itself pain, very few drugs that cause pain a burning or feeling itchy when intravenous injection, usually the patient is informed in advance if it will receive any of these drugs, and in all cases the patient reporting nursing staff for anything feel.


Use of another treatment with chemotherapy

Some types of medications may interfere with chemotherapy, so the patient to tell the doctor about all the medicines abused before chemotherapy begins the doctor needs to know the name of the medicine and the dosage amount and the reasons for using it and how often it is used , so that the doctor can find out that there was a conflict between Such drugs and chemotherapy and whether the patient should stop them until the end of treatment.
