Methods to reduce colorectal cancer side effects

Ask
Hello doctor! My mother is undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for colorectal cancer, suffering from many side effects such as hair loss, weight loss, fatigue. Doctor let me ask how long the side effects last? Is there any method at Vinmec to reduce the side effects of cancer treatment? Hope to get a doctor's advice soon!

Hello! For patients who experience serious side effects during chemotherapy, Vinmec can reduce the dose of the drug, prolong the chemotherapy time, change the chemotherapy drug. In particular, Vinmec is effectively applying autologous cell immunotherapy, helping to reduce these unwanted side effects.
Ideally, you and your family should arrange a time to bring your mother to a hospital under Vinmec Health System so that qualified doctors will directly examine and give the most appropriate treatment plan for her condition. your mother's current health.
Thank you for trusting and sharing your concerns with Vinmec. Wish your mother good health always.
