eli5: Why cant they anesthetize chemo patients so they don’t feel the pain from chemotherapy?
In: Biology
I went through chemo last year. Not a lot of pain from the chemo but more from the side effects. I expected the nausea, but having the skin constantly peeling off of my palms and soles was a constant source of pain. Walking was painful, as was picking anything up. Losing all that skin caused an odd problem at work – since my fingerprints had disappeared I couldn’t clock in/out at work because we used a biometric scanner.
