Chemotherapy Side Effects

- Hear from Linda, an Epworth oncology nurse, as she explains some of the different chemotherapy side effects that may occur as well as providing practical advice to help during and after treatment.
Had my first chemo treatment and wasn't prepared for what my body was about to go through. The day of treatment and the following four days I experienced a literal nightmare of side effects. I felt like I was being tortured, I had no escape from the nausea, intense pain, or complete confusion. I had never in my life felt anything like that. (I've had 2 births, kidney stones, gallstones, broken bones so I'm familiar with pain.) I wish that my medical team would have prepared me better as to what I was about to face.
I'm sending out healing energy and love to all going through this. I hope for only the best for those fighting this battle.
I’m so sorry
I hope you have gotten through this ok now and are in remission
I am 58 and I have never been ill. I blacked out driving home one evening. Once at the hospital I was diagnosed with brain cancer. I had the tumor removed with the best surgeon from Dana Farber and she removed it to perfection. That was nothing compared to the chemotherapy and radiation. I have never felt so poorly from anything than this. I am doing this with the hope of getting 3 to 5 years of life and to be there for loved ones.
You are loved

Please don t limit your life expectancy. God Who created you, is The One Who will decide when you re leaving, but don t let your mind convince you that you ll be gone by a certain time. Think positif. May God heal you as He save my husband. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Good luck!
Excellent video. I have had my first chemo treatment, experiencing three difficult days, but slowly regaining a little strength. Best wishes to all going throuth chemo.
The first one is the nervous one, it gets better after that, and you meet some "real friends☺️
Susan what did you learn from the video ?
And how are you doing ?
I didn’t go bald from chemo did you?
does chemo kill? My mother aged 70 has been diagnosed with uterine sarcoma and after having uterus surgically removed. Doctor has told her to take adjuvant therapy chemo and radiation. Is it very painful?
Anyone who goes through Chemotherapy is one tough cookie! The first chemo was mentally shocking. On day three, I was curled up in a ball wondering if the treatment is worth it. I now have only two weeks left. I am counting down the days. Be proud. Hang in there. You CAN do this!!!!!
Hello all. I have had Radiation therapy before . 1 month 5 days a week. Its been a couple year and now I will be having Chemotherapy. A biopsy will be done again to see if its the same CA. Hodgkin's Lymphoma predominant Lymphocyte B or something more Aggressive. I have to say yes I am sad/ depressed and A bit scared. The video was and is very informative. Sorry for blabbing on but it felt good to get it out. All the best to everyone .
And to you, good luck
I was told I wouldn’t feel ill after my first treatment. Wrong. I was in bed for 3 days. Ugh. I have 7 more chemo treatments and 25 radiation rounds. I foresee myself being the victor for I am a a warrior.
Good information, I'm on chemotherapy treatment now, it's painful and there's nothing they can do, it wears off in time, it's all still a mystery and there's no cure for cancer, keep praying y'all 🙏💙
Radjation and chemo were the worst thing I ever experienced. But I am here. I was pre cold cap, so I am kind of bald. But it's been 9 years and I am still here!
Hope you have many years yet!
Me and my mom watched this she is currently undertaking chemotheraphy for her breast cancer. Thank you for this informative video.
How is she now?
How is she doing now
@@as-zm8pq She just finished her last session last week and we are preparing for her upcoming operation. So far so good, but her weight loss is really noticeable.
@@yvesgabriel3775 my mother also ongoing, I'm glad if I can see anything that you can share with me
@@as-zm8pq We just need to be there with them, they are prone to high emotional stress, my mom cried for so long when her hair started falling down. I also buy her vitamins because the chemo lowers their resistance to diseases. We can't have them catch pneumonia etc.
If you have cancer you're not alone. There are many of us out there. Be strong because attitude is everything. The human immune system does not recognize cancer. This is why your body manufactures white blood cells and killer T-cells. Killer T-cells kill cancer while white blood cells clean up the mess. NOTE: Its attitude that controls the manufacturing of T-cells and white blood cells. The more you laugh the more good cells you'll produce. So laugh every day, live in a state of thankfulness, and remember this, cancer loves sugar and hates oxygen. Just a few things we all can do to help with our doctors' treatments. P*E*A*C*E
Excellent information and advice! Thank you! ❤️
I finished one year of chemo…last week I got to ring the bell. Was so scared when it was my first chemo…another nurse held my hand while another put the needle in my port, but I always dreaded each time knowing it was chemo day, then all I want to sleep, day and night, but it didn’t make me sick, didn’t lose my hair, but it defines thinner….I am stage 4….we don’t how long I will have, but being I am 75 yrs old I doubt it is very long, but I have people going 5 years….so who knows what will happen
amazing video thank you not only for the content but in calming my week one nerves. I feel million times better now having had watched some I'll informed videos that left me panic stricken.
I was about to leave a comment, but you had already said it but thank you bro.
3rd day after my first treatment. I am feeling it. Though thankful I watched this. I am 40, no kids and off work now paid. Makes my fatigue seem nothing in the eyes of a mother with children and laundry to do.
Imagine being the mother who does all that and has chemo and radiation
This was exceptionally clear and well presented - thank you!
Appreciate U very much.Half of my anxiety and despair relieved.Tks. so much.Bless U.
very accurate. thank you all
Thank you 🙏🏼 very much ma’am
Really informative thank you very much
Thanks for making this video, wondering if you have a video specifically on the 2 chemo meds I will be taking: Taxol and carboplatin once a week together with radiotherapy 5 times a week. Cheers.
well described...Thank u mam
Thank you so very much for this information.
Thank you so much for making this video. It's nice to be informed ahead of time.
Excellent video⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Working to get standards database for cancer. Is a must
Helpful - just had my second session - think I tolerated first one ok but second one a bit worse - especially days 3-4 post chemo. It's wretched at the time but knowing it passes and gets better helps.
Are u ok.. stay strong..
I hear ya, that is that way with me too, feel good for only one week and then, time for another
@@robnorman4974 I think I contracted covid after my third session as was ill for 10 days to the point I didn't want any more. I had 4th and final session of aggressive chemo and was clear for 10. months - now they tell me my cancer is back in swollen lymph nodes but told them no way having any more chemo nor radiation. I'll deal with it my way and maintain quality of life for as long as I can. Only people who've had cancer and chemo know how horrendous it is! The chemo damaged my lungs (emphysema) and I struggle daily with reduced quality of life due to shortness of breath on exertion and how it limits my mobility. Not risking worsening and will work at maintaining what quality of life I have with vitamins and mineral supplements, acupuncture, and Rife/Solfaggio music/vibrational sound therapy. Plenty of helpful stuff on UA-cam x
Really informative
Thank you what good information
Thank you, this has helped me a lot. I feel better informed.
Thank you for information :-)
1st infusion is Monday with chemo and antibodies for non Hodgkin's lymphoma.🙏
Me too with no problem but had the second one this Friday I has sickness and dihorrea I thought I was dying, but after very good care from nurses and doctors I feel good today Saturday xx
Mem chemotarphy k sare sections krane jaruri h agr ni kraye to kuch side effects hoga kya
I had 11 months of chemotherapy and 4 years later im still in pain!! I don't understand how I am still hurting. I'm afraid that this new dr isn't want to give me anymore pain meds. What can I do???
Could you please tell me about long term effects of chemo. I’m 11 weeks post chemo Doing well but suffering from fatigue when I do things for a few hours. And I have terrible problems with my nerves in my hands and feet. Feet the worst. My left foot feels so numb. I can only wear flip flops. Or Ugg boots. Thank you.
Are u ok..? hopefully everything going ok for u... Don't give up.. stay strong..
I can tell you that the numbness in your fingers and toes will continue for quite a while after you've been taken off that drug. But your doctor can prescribe medication for the numbness.

Not very healthy advice !!!
Can you please, what is the pathology involved in chemotherapy causing unfair skin and hair loss?
Hi,
Chemotherapy side effects may affect hair or skin, this is because chemotherapy destroys rapidly growing cancer cells but can also destroy some rapidly growing healthy cells such as hair or skin.
Patients undergoing chemotherapy may experience side effects differently & it's important to speak to your oncologist or a medical professional to discuss individual factors & potential side effects.

@@EpworthHealthCareAU hi, good day, about what you wrote pls, how would a parents get to know if their child have side effects when they are still baby and can’t speak? Cos my 5 months old baby is gonna get thru some in a short while and that scares me 😱

@@Keerthii2230 m doing great
Why no mention of visual and cognitive side effects?
That is an omission, true - I read in one poll that over 80% of chemo patients suffer from "chemo brain" (brain fog).
My brother had cancer. He had been under going chemotherapy. After his fourth dose he had a hole on his throat and it became larger day by day. It was yellow in color. Can u pls tell me why'd this happen? Please please. It would be very helpful if u could tell me.
Hi there,
We're really sorry to hear about your brother. As each case of cancer is different, you'd be best to speak to your brother's medical team to find out a bit more about this hole.
If you'd like to connect with others who may have experienced something similar, you can join the conversation on The Village - thevillage.epworth.org.au.
Wishing you & your family all the best.
Thanks,
Louisa.

Hi Bijay, patients undergoing chemotherapy may experience side effects differently & it's important to speak to your mother's oncologist or a medical professional to discuss individual factors & potential side effects.
Hey how is your mom what did they do
How is your mom
Hello
Can you help us to overcome the sideeffects the chemotherapy
Hi Nityam,
As side effects can vary in those undergoing chemotherapy, it's best for the patient to speak to their medical professional to discuss managing their own unique side effects.
Thanks,
Dane.
I will start chemo dec 12. Chemo t/c
How are you doing? I started on the same date . 9:46
@Carolyn Bizien I did very well with the chemo. I never got sick but I was exhausted for about two weeks. I slept a lot. My last chemo was February 14. My hair is beginning to grow back. I lost my hair after the first chemo. I hope the best for you. Stay strong and pray a lot.
I heard that cancer feeds on sugar and I asked the cancer doctor and she said no, that everything has sugar and asked another doctor and she said that there is no proofs that the sugar is really bad for you if you already have cancer. So i am puzzled and i got chemo last year in 2020 and i went back to eating alot of sweets cause i have been addicted to sweets and now one of the gct tumors grew, now they want me to do chemo again to try to shrink the tumor on my stomach which is as big as a apple, i think., Can anybody help me with this? Gct is granulosa cell tumors and i have been eating alot of chocolate since i was very young and am 67 years now...🤦♀️
You need to start eating healthy. Sugar is bad for your health. You need to check your sugar levels. Diabetes is not fun. You forgot to tell your doctor you're addicted to sweets. Stop eating sweets before is too late.
From what I have read there is no such thing as an anti cancer diet. You need to try and eat healthy during chemo (and anytime actually), and a lot of sweets is not healthy. If you can, eat sweets in moderation and just as a treat. But I doubt that the eating of sweets has anything to do with your tumour. (I eat virtually no chocolate and no sweets and it hasn't stopped my cancer, but as I eat healthy I am still quite fit and well).
i have a port

Mam is Chemotherapy dose dependent on person's age? My relative is 72
I am having the choice of chemo again. which my children dont want..I will listen carefully, it nearly killed me last time..
What have you chosen to do? I wish you love and light. Xx. Im another Warrior. From 🇬🇧
Sorry to read - hope you made the right choice after consultation with your doctors and not your kids
Vomiting needs to be listed at side-effects
It was
@@chrisj8764 wdym?
If you don't have no one to come with you , will you be seen
Anybody saying they have NO side effects are lying! I've only had 1 round and already have side effects
I'm about to complete my first chemo cycle (folfirinox) tomorrow and aparr from "first bite sysdrome" and very painful stimulus to cold objects and drinks, I've yet to experience any really bad side effects. I sincerely hope it stays that way
Dont give up dear, my youngest sister (44 yrs old) had through 2 chemo, she s been doing well except feel fatique most of the time. God bless you
Really informative
