Question
I have an intestinal tumor with lymphoma. An endoscopy of the ileocecal region revealed a mass, and a pathological examination confirmed it as lymphoma. About 30 cm of the intestinal intussusception was surgically removed. What are the side effects of chemotherapy for drug treatment?
Answer
If advanced chemotherapy is being administered, the potential side effects are quite significant. However, chemotherapy is very effective for the body and for cancer patients. It is recommended to combine some traditional Chinese medicine with chemotherapy to alleviate its side effects. Additionally, it is suggested to moderately enhance the patient’s immunity and consider a combination of traditional and Western medicine. Chemotherapy drugs can cause significant damage to normal cells in patients, and common side effects include bone marrow suppression.
