Cancer fatigue is more challenging than cancer
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: Cancer fatigue is more challenging than fighting the disease as many patients are not aware why they are tired, unable to concentrate attention or lead quality life as they did before. Dr Ajay Chanakya Vallabhaneni, consultant surgical oncologist and robotic surgeon at KIMS Hospitals, said, “Many factors are linked to cancer fatigue. Dr Revanth Gangasani Reddy, oncologist at Aware Global Hospitals, said, “Nearly 70 to 80 per cent of patients suffering from cancer give up hope during the chemotherapy done post- surgery. We have found that some give up midway, others do not have the mental strength while many others succumb due to multiple factors like social, financial and mental distress.” Cancer drugs not only attack cancer cells but also the fast-growing normal healthy cells.
