(The information contained in this article does not constitute medical advice; please consult a physician if you have questions about breast health issues raised in this article.)
My first time through breast cancer the highways of treatment over which I traveled were the typical “cut, poison, and burn” routine. First the surgeon extracted the tumor and surrounding tissue in a lumpectomy. Then I endured a chemotherapy called CMF, a toxic, colorless cocktail of three chemicals: cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil. Finally, my breast was radiated for six weeks to seal the fate of any remaining cancerous cells lurking within. This article focuses on my experience with chemo.
The most common short-term side effects of chemotherapy include fatigue, hair loss, nausea, mucositis (irritation of the lining of the mouth and intestines), increased risk of infection (due to low white-blood-cell counts), and anemia (due to low red-blood-cell counts).
I didn’t experience all of these side effects. My hair thinned, but did not disappear. My blood-cell counts decreased, but not so much that I couldn’t take a cross-country two-week vacation. I didn’t suffer any infections during the entire three months of chemo treatment. Continue reading ‘Information on Breast Cancer – The Tale of Three Chemos’ »

If you or a family member has just been diagnosed with lymphoma, there probably are many questions you have. You will get all those answered eventually, however you first should know a little bit about cancer itself. Here we answer some of the questions to help you understand better what is going on inside your body.
What is a Cancer? Cancer is a condition in which certain of your body’s cells become abnormal and grow uncontrollably, beyond the ability of your body to destroy these rogue cells. Your natural body defenses become insufficient to fight off this rapid growth of cells. Typically these cells then group together in a mass form called a tumor.

A cancer discovery can unearth so many emotions, worries and uncertainties. People react in different ways when they receive such news, and some people find it extremely difficult to cope with such a life changing event. It can take a long time to adjust to such a result, and quite often it doesn’t sink in for a while and takes some time to get used to. Often the hardest thing to deal with at first will be the reactions of others around you. Family and friends will be upset, crying, trying to comfort you, and offering kind words and so on. This may feel very strange before it has actually sunk in, because you may feel like there is nothing wrong if the situation still doesn’t seem real. Many patients say that they don’t really believe they have cancer until such time as they begin treatment. Chemotherapy is a common treatment for sufferers of breast cancer, and there are many RX or prescription drugs available online to help you when you are undergoing this type of treatment.

Erectile dysfunction happens when a man is unable to achieve or maintain an erection, even when their sexual drive remains unaffected. A man’s penis is normally flaccid, but with increased arousal and increased blood flow to the penis, the organ should become erect. After orgasm, the penis becomes limp again. Impotence can be caused by a variety of reasons, among them age (many men will develop an inability to achieve an erection as they grow older), vascular problems (since an erection is caused by blood flow to the penis, men with circulation problems may experience impotence), medical conditions such as diabetes, and lifestyle choices like smoking and drinking alcohol, medications such as antidepressants, heart medications, and narcotics may decrease ability to have an erection.
However, ED can also be caused by cancer related issues, as most therapies to treat prostate cancer or testicular cancer, including radiation and chemotherapy, can render a man unable to achieve an erection. Moreover, anxiety and depression, both of which are normally experienced due to the gravity of cancer, can also lead to a decreased ability to reach an erection. Chemotherapy will frequently slow down the quantity of testosterone produced. Testosterone is vital to control erectile function.

There are so many decisions a person has to make after they find out they have cancer and will have to undergo chemotherapy. One of the decisions will be what to do about their appearance after chemotherapy hair loss. Many websites say that the most traumatic thing about undergoing cancer treatment is the results of chemotherapy hair loss. Along with the chemotherapy hair loss is some weight loss that will show in the face. So any steps taken to mitigate the appearance have to include some thought for the resulting facial changes from the weight loss.
The hair that is lost is often gradual. Sometimes it may fall out in hunks but mostly it will fall out gradually. About 50 percent of the hair has to fall out before most people will even notice any change. Of course, you, as the patient will immediately notice even a few missing hairs. But that is to be expected as it is your hair that is falling out.

personalized chemotherapy Can Offer Patients a Better Chance
Personalized chemotherapy is available in Pittsburgh and in locations across the country. It is an adaptive technique used by pioneering doctors attempting to make chemotherapy more efficacious. Prior to what is known as personalized chemotherapy, treatment conditions were determined according to formulas that applied to the general population. An example of this is the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) where a mathematical formula determines the maximum dose of chemo a person should receive. The problem with this is that some patients had a higher or lower threshold and the treatment was either too much, leading to negative side effects or it was not enough and that lead to no positive cancer reducing effect for the patients. Doctors had the dilemma of giving too much treatment which debilitated the quality of life for cancer patients or not giving the patients enough treatment which lead to failure to treat the cancer and cancer recurrence.
