As a general health professional, I often talk to patients about their overall well-being and medications they might take along with their cancer therapy. I know that it may be hard and stressful to undergo the treatment of cancer and cope with the intake of several medications or treatment side effects.

Although I am not an oncologist, my job is to assist individuals to understand general health and medications. In addition, some medications might be prescribed during cancer treatment for alleviation of some symptoms, such as pain, nausea, inflammation, infection, insomnia, etc., together with cancer medications.

At any case, I recommend all the patients to ask their physicians or pharmacists about each drug they take, including its purpose, method of administration, possible side effects, as well as interactions with other drugs and supplements.

Since every person has his or her own medical history, general health information received from the Internet cannot substitute the recommendations given by the physician. My goal is only to provide general health information to individuals.
