親戚在國內,乳腺癌,手術切除,現在做完第一期化療。我想請教一下:
1。有沒有什麽好的藥物可以預防或減少惡心,嘔吐?
2。如何盡量提高白細胞?打升白針會有副作用嗎?
3。放化療期間,能吃蛋白粉,花旗參,靈芝之類的保健品嗎?網上有人說會促進癌細胞增長,請提供些建議,多謝.
- many anti-nausea meds, such as zofran, kytril, emend, aloxi. all are expensive. the most commonly used is probably still zofran which is cheaper, even better now that it is sold over-the-counter, you can probably buy it without prescription. Emend and Aloxi are newer and more powerful.
- for white counts, G-CSF (neupogen, filgrastim) and GM-CSF (sargramostim), both need prescription and very expensive.
- Other stuff would not work.
