*What Chemotherapy does to the body*
Bone Marrow Suppression: Chemotherapy attacks bone marrow where new blood cells are made.
Anemia: Low red blood cell counts cause severe fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath.
Increased Infection Risk: A drop in white blood cells leaves the body vulnerable to potentially life-threatening infections and sepsis.
Easy Bleeding: A decrease in platelets impairs the blood's ability to clot, leading to easy bruising and bleeding.
Digestive and Gastrointestinal TractMouth Sores:
Fast-growing cells lining the mouth and throat are destroyed, leading to painful ulcers and dry mouth.
Nausea and Vomiting: Damage to the gastrointestinal lining and stimulation of the brain's vomiting center causes severe nausea.
Bowel Disruptions: Chemotherapy can irritate the gut lining, resulting in alternating periods of diarrhea and constipation.
Hair, Skin, and Nails Hair Loss: Hair follicles are highly active, fast-growing cells, making them a primary target. This causes hair to fall out across the scalp and body.
Skin and Nail Damage: Skin can become extremely dry, itchy, and sensitive to sunlight, while nails may become brittle, discolored, or prone to lifting.
Nervous System and BrainNeuropathy:
Some drugs damage peripheral nerves, resulting in numbness, tingling, or a burning pain in the hands and feet."
Chemo Brain": Patients often experience cognitive issues, including memory loss, brain fog, and difficulty concentrating.
Reproductive System Infertility and Hormonal Changes: Chemotherapy can damage reproductive organs and alter hormone levels, leading to temporary or permanent infertility, or the sudden onset of menopause.
