- Dr. Jyoti Patel discusses the possible side effects of chemotherapy for cancer treatment, shares information about medical advances for managing these side effects, and advice on how to talk to your health care team.
I’m a cancer survivor, I had throat cancer and cancer in my neck. The radiation was hard and so was the chemo! I’m 6 months cancer free! I’m happy to be alive,however the side affects are hell, I suffer from short term memory loss,numbness in my legs and fatigue, I sometimes sleep for 10 hours and 4 hours later I need a nap. I don’t see the side affects leaving any time soon. I know people that have had the same treatment and don’t suffer with the same side affects, I think it all depends on your body chemistry. At least I’m here for my daughter!
Don't ever say 'Cancer Free'.
She's she is cancer free
Whst God can not do does not exist
I was really fearful when my process started 4 months ago. I felt overwhelmed by all of the information I was being given. But I knew all of those doctors and nurses were there to get me the help I needed to get better! 😊 So I listened to them explain how the treatment plan would be managed, and after my first few treatments I wasnt afraid anymore. I actually looked forward to being with the nurses in the chemo room and visiting with them, and my Oncologist is the most amazing cancer doctor on the planet! 😇👍 I have had a few annoying side affects during this experience, but nothing I cant manage as long as Iam careful to do what Iam told. And since we are in the middle of this scary covid virus situation, I actually look forward to my chemotherapy appointments because it is the only time I can leave my house since I dont have an immune system anymore lol 😂🥰
I watched the vid. I read the comments. As a new chemo patient, I benefitted from all of it. Perhaps, what might be more deliberately emphasized is that this is a good but basic intro to the topic provided in a limited budget of allowed on-camera time. The MD can’t and shouldn’t cover everything even if she could. However, she stressed repeatedly that every person’s experience may vary from what she is saying. I fully empathize with the deep suffering described in some of the comments, and I learned from them. But I needed an intro first because I’m both uninformed and scared, and I don’t know what I don’t know. The vid got me started. I didn’t want a doctor to scream, “You’re gonna die a horrible death from side effects!” I already know I might. I hope none of us does. Instead, I now have a better idea of what questions to ask and what info to seek as I (hopefully) move to higher levels of understanding. Get well, all.
I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I am 66, and depending on which cardiologist I talk to on any given day, I have had either two or four heart attacks. Both radiation and chemo have serious effects on the heart. To make matters worse, I live in Vegas, which is the healthcare armpit of the country. As noted, I can't even get cardiologists FROM THE SAME PRACTICE to agree on how many heart attacks I've had. That's how good "healthcare" is here.
I’m refusing Chemotherapy. I watched several of my relatives suffer even more and still die. It’s my body and I want to go out on my own terms.
Same here!
Excellent information and well presented. Thank you so much Doc.
I’m in the middle of chemo now. I’ve had every side effect from wbc dropping to 1.6 running fevers, extreme stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, daily headaches, fatigue, no taste, hair loss….and my doctor won’t lower my dosage because I’m triple negative breast cancer. Early stage though. Like I just hope I can get through these next treatments! I can’t function that first week!
After Colon cancer Surgery I completed 12 chemo treatments few side effects running after one month . (April 2022 to Dec.2022)
great talk well presented
Wow, this doesn't seem remotely close to my wife's chemo experience. Try continuous misery from mouth sores, nausea, fatigue, weakness, extreme pain.
To SC, how did your lovely and brave wife suffer extreme pain? I may be wrong, but I do feel that giving chemo to childhood cancer victims, is child abuse. Survivors can face many problems. Please reply.
@@gordanazakula4927 so you rather the child or any person die instead if having chemo? She said different ones have different affects and you know no two people will react the same.
I agree!
@@gordanazakula4927 I'm not going to say that chemo is child abuse. I guess chemo has its place in cancer treatment. As I have observed, it is a horrible thing to have to go through. In my opinion, one of the most important factors in cancer treatment is the doctor. If the doctor gives you a doom and gloom output from the very start and even with promising outcomes during treatment, the doctor's prognosis is "you ain't gonna make it", get off your duff and get to another doctor and/or hospital. If that same doctor scoffs at treatments such as proton beam therapy or other proven methods which may or may not increase your chances of a good outcome (does not want you to try them-ever) you may be at the wrong facility. Always be proactive in the treatment and never let your guard down. A doctor with a good bedside manner is very nice, but completely useless when it comes to cancer treatment. So far, I haven't had to go through any of these things myself. Who knows what tomorrow holds?
@@gordanazakula4927 Your right give them a stick to chew on while the cancer eats them from the inside out
Good nutriton is important but it's so hard when you can't taste anything or stand the smell..... I'm trying, though
Please forgive our delayed response! Changes in taste in unfortunately a common side effect for many people. Here is some information about subtle changes you can make to your food to help it taste better when you're going through treatment:

I had 6 chemo treatments. I did feel exhausted for one week and nauseous. I was down for one week out of three weeks. I cried a lot and didn’t want to do it. I got it done. If I had to do it again, I would have taken the anti nausea medications more often. Just to get through that week.
I can understand your pain, my father had 5th chemo after two days he did vomit , had nausea, high fever and low oxygen etc. Today I admitted him to hospital.
I enjoyed her ''method'' of delivery but was totally disappointed in her coverage of the TITLE 'side effects' she went out of her way to NOT list them which played right into her 'method' of double speak and circular reasoning.
They don’t tell you that it’s not 100% effective. Can be as low as 20% or 30%.
Its 4 days now Since my Wife underwent her 1st chemo, and i noticed she is improving by day from fatigue and nosea / vomiting.
But the pains at the affected Breast persists.
my wife has just finished chemo ,tell your wife too take easy and plenty of rest she may feel cold keep her warm and be understanding of the trauma she is going through ,it will get better ,my wife was out pruning bushes today and she crashes and goes too sleep for an hour then feels better cos she achieved something today .
My friend is using Centauri Honey Turkish brand with crazy price around 17,000 $ for 1 kilogram medicinal Cave Honey , only rich can afford
It . Is . F@#*ing miserable........ 😭
But we get up every day , shower , do housework, put our smiles on and take care of our children w boundless amounts of energy!
Then at night , when no ones looking , when no one's asking
" how are you ? "
We cry ourselves to sleep ........
I'm so sorry
Abdallah Almanasrah

I know it wasn't a very positive comment. We make it through though ...... 😁❤
I hope you can stay positive. I am just beginning my journey. Next Friday I have surgery then after that I start chemo.
🙏🏽🙏🏽
God is in control POWER IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST

HE has been healing much longer than any of our doctors in our culture. UNfortunatly many do not turn to HIM as their first option
@@randallmaxwell2405 Take your God and pray you do not get cancer, BECAUSE YOU WILL BE PRAYING FOR CHEMO...
The most ANNOYING part of these types of videos is the real dirt on effects, just like this one, is not realistically portrayed... does ANYONE agree ?
Charlie Hutch This video was annoying af! I agree.
Someone please help me with chemo. I feel sooo sick every time I do it. What can I do about it. I feel like I can’t do it anymore I hate it.
SweetHeart ! Hi! 😊 I read your comment and Iam sorry youre having a rotten experience with your chemotherapy! Did your doctor get you some nausea pills? I can understand how you wish you could quit! Its miserable trying to tolerate those nasty treatments. I just finished mine last monday. The red devil bothered me alot, but the taxol treatments did not, until the final treatment I experienced some numbness in my fingers. I hope you find some relief soon. What age are you, and what type of cancer is yours? Mine is BRCA. My next step in two weeks will be the masectomy. Thankgod it was slow growing and hasnt spread. Good luck on your cancer journey too! 😊❤️ 🙏
Marcia Capell I have cervix cancer I’m going through chemo and radiation. This past Tuesday my dr put sleeve inside my vagina and I see twice a week for to give me radiation treatment through there. It’s very painful. I have two more to do. Other then that I do regular radiation treatment everyday it gives me Diarrhea and bladder infection and a lot of dryness down there it’s horrible. And the chemo I just finished this Friday. I can’t wait for the chemo to get out of my system. I can feel him stretching my Vagina to put the instrument in place. I was crying had to take a five minute break and then continue. 😩😩😩 but thank you for replying it means. A lot to me.
SweetHeart ! Oh my goodness that sounds downright horrible! That is worse than anything I can imagine going through! What a nightmare experience! You poor thing!! I had no idea cervix cancer treatments involved radiation. Gosh you were given more than a person should have to endure! Id be crying too had I been put through such a drill! Just the thought of all those treatments makes me cringe!! I hope your treatments get done soon! Heres a bunch of prayers just for you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️🧡💛💚💙💜✝️😇
Maybe try marijauan , I've heard it helps alottt for some patients
Just go the natural way, eat fruits and vegetables and some fish every now and then to get your protein, interact with the mother nature and take the sun for 40 min in your entire body and keep a positive thoughts all the times, listen to music in a 528 frequency or 432 frequency and keep this situation just between you and your family and every morning tell your self that you're healthy and say thank you for everything.
St s nly they always downgrade the misery.
Cancer Sucks, Chemo Sucks, Radiation Sucks LIVING A NORMAL LIFE AFTER DOES NOT SUCK!!!

Hard to go to work or anywhere with unremitting diarrhea. Grade 2 idc, tchp
You kill more than you save ! You need to tell the long term Effects !!!!! It makes no senses to make the body sick to get it well " I have CML and just found out I now have stage 3 colorectal ! I feel great " I had no side effects ! I'm not going to try to kill myself to get well "
How r now I think u r fine
Not everyone are the same. Some people have more long term effects than others.
How to avoid side effects, don't do it. They feed you a line of BS. Seek outside alternative therapy with no side effects.
right they do not work you idiot. If they did then everyone would do it. The BS is from assholes like you who are completely clueless so go chew on some bark and let us know how that helps
How to reduce chemo side effects
Have you Had Chemo? SERIOUSLY???, when your survival rates drop by 30% without it you might think the "side effects" are worth it...
Nothing treats cancer outside of drugs and radiation
This lady makes me sick. Typical.
