Cancer treatment side effects
Description
Radiation and chemotherapy often make patients wonder which is worse-cancer or the weapons used to fight it? This program examines the many side effects of cancer treatments, revealing essential medical facts behind them and suggesting ways for cancer patients to feel better, despite the likelihood of pain, nausea, and other debilitations. Discussions address many frequently asked questions, such as: When should treatment side effects be considered too severe? Which of them can be life-threatening? What methods exist for reducing the impact of side effects and tangibly increasing quality of life? Expert commentary comes from Dr. Barry Meisenburg of the University of Maryland and Dr. Shakun Malik of Georgetown University.
