What Is Pancreatic Cancer?
8. Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy involves medication that will help to kill the cancerous cells. While it is not a cure for pancreatic cancer, it can at least help to slow the progress of the cancer. Chemotherapy medication can be taken orally, and it will also be administered intravenously in some cases.
Chemotherapy comes with some unpleasant side effects, and it will often cause the patient to feel even more fatigued than they are already. Hair loss is another symptom, as is pain, a loss of appetite, easy bruising, and bleeding. Chemotherapy can help to slow the progress of cancer, and it will often be used in combination with radiation therapy.
