eli5: Why cant they anesthetize chemo patients so they don’t feel the pain from chemotherapy?
In: Biology
As a former chemo patient, it wasn’t that kind of pain. The chemo being administered wasn’t the painful part. But afterwards I was so achy and uncomfortable and fatigued I couldn’t move. I remember just lying flat on my bed, too exhausted to move, letting tears just roll down my face because I was too uncomfortable to sleep. Low doses of dexamethasone helped the most.
