The Best Ways To Outlive Prostate Cancer

Chemotherapy

Medications used in chemotherapy are widely used in treating many different forms of cancer. They are typically administered by injection in the veins or taken orally. Mainly used after the cancer has spread, chemotherapy is considered if other types of hormone therapy have failed. In some cases, both hormone therapy and chemotherapy will be used to eradicate prostate cancer. Chemotherapy comes with a host of side effects, including hair loss, sores on the mouth, a loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, infections, bruising, and fatigue. The positive thing is that many of these side effects usually disappear when the patient's therapy is complete.
