Chemotherapy

It depends on the type of cancer you have and how advanced it has progressed.

• Cure: In certain cases, the treatment will kill cancer cells to the point that your doctor will be unable to locate them in your body. The best case scenario is that they never grow back, although this isn’t usually the case.
• Control: It may only be able to prevent cancer from spreading to other parts of your body or delay the growth of cancer tumors in some situations.
• Ease Symptoms: Chemotherapy is often used to decrease tumors that cause pain or pressure because it can’t cure or control the spread of cancer. These tumors frequently come back to life.

It can be used alone to treat cancer, but it’s more commonly used in conjunction with:

A doctor removes cancerous tumors or tissue, as well as organs tainted with cancerous cells, during surgery.

When a doctor uses radioactive particles that are invisible to the human eye to kill cancer cells, this is known as Radiation Treatment/Therapy. It might be administered by a specific machine that bombards areas of your body from the outside, or it could be supplied by placing radioactive material on, around, or even inside your body.

Immunotherapy- Immunotherapy is a cancer-fighting treatment that aids your immune system. Your immune system aids in the battle against infections and other disorders. It is made up of white blood cells as well as lymphatic organs and tissues.

Immunotherapy is a biological treatment. Biological therapy is a method of cancer treatment that use compounds derived from live organisms.

Hormonal Therapy- Hormone therapy is the cancer treatment that slows or stops the growth of cancer that uses hormones to grow. Hormone therapy is also called hormonal therapy, hormone treatment, or endocrine therapy. Prostate and breast cancers that utilize hormones to proliferate are treated with hormone therapy. Hormone therapy is frequently used in conjunction with other cancer therapies. Treatment options vary depending on the type of cancer, if it has spread and how far it has spread, whether it requires hormones to develop, and whether you have any other health issues.

Chemo Cycles- Typically, 4 to 8 cycles of therapy are completed over a course of treatment. The duration between one round of therapy and the start of the next is referred to as a cycle. You take a break after each round of treatment to allow your body to recover.

That depends on:

• The sort of cancer you’ve been diagnosed with
• Cure, growth control, or pain relief are the goals of treatment.
• The kind of chemotherapy used
• Your body’s reaction to the treatment

Chemotherapy may be given in “cycles,” which entails a period of treatment followed by a period of rest. For example, a four-week cycle might include one week of therapy and three weeks of rest. Your body can manufacture new, healthy cells throughout the time you spend resting. Although your doctor may prescribe it if adverse effects are severe, it’s preferable not to skip a treatment once a cycle has been established. Most likely, your medical team will develop a new cycle to help you get back on track.

It depends on the type of chemotherapy, the amount administered, and the frequency with which it is administered. It also depends on where you live and if you receive care at home or in a hospital. Make sure to study your health insurance coverage to find out exactly what it will and won’t cover, to get your chemotherapy treatment.
