đď¸Â âWhat are the side effects â and how long is recovery after cancer treatment?â
đ Chemotherapy targets fast-growing cells â so while it destroys cancer cells,it can also affect healthy ones in the hair, mouth, stomach, and blood.Thatâs why patients may feel tired, nauseous, lose hair, or have low immunity.These side effects are temporary â most start improving within weeks after treatment ends.
â˘ď¸Â Radiation therapy affects only the treated area.You might see skin redness, dryness, fatigue, or mild soreness depending on the site âbut these, too, usually fade in a few weeks.
Recovery time varies for everyone.The body starts healing the moment treatment ends âand most people feel their strength returning over 2 to 3 months.What truly helps?Good food, gentle movement, sleep, emotional peace â and lots of patience.
đżÂ Homoeopathic support during this phase can help reduce post-treatment fatigue,improve appetite, and support emotional balance â so healing happens more naturally.
Remember âside effects are temporary, but recovery is real.Give your body time⌠it knows how to heal.â
