亲戚在国内,乳腺癌,手术切除,现在做完第一期化疗。我想请教一下:
1。有没有什么好的药物可以预防或减少恶心,呕吐?
2。如何尽量提高白细胞?打升白针会有副作用吗?
3。放化疗期间,能吃蛋白粉,花旗参,灵芝之类的保健品吗?网上有人说会促进癌细胞增长,请提供些建议,多谢.
- 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.
