eli5: Why cant they anesthetize chemo patients so they don’t feel the pain from chemotherapy?
In: Biology
I’ve had chemo, although not as much as cancer or leukemia patients and the chemo being injected doesn’t hurt, in most cases it’s like most intravenous treatments (I had some intravenous treatments that actually hurt being injected but that’s a whole other story). What hurts is the side/ after effects that follow which anesthesia obviously cannot help with.
