Question
I was diagnosed with liver cancer six months ago and am currently undergoing treatment. Recently, I’ve noticed that I’m starting to gain weight, and my family believes it may be related to the chemotherapy needle. Can mtx chemotherapy needle cause weight gain?
Answer
Weight gain after chemotherapy is mainly due to hormonal side effects, and these symptoms will gradually improve as the hormone levels decrease after the chemotherapy ends. Please adhere to your doctor’s instructions and avoid stopping medication on your own, as this may lead to a recurrence or worsening of the condition. You can consider taking traditional Chinese medicine to adjust your body; traditional Chinese medicine usually has no significant side effects and can help improve symptoms. Additionally, you can opt for oral traditional Chinese medicine treatment, which directly targets the lesion and is very effective.
