Chemotherapy For Patients

Another level of impact on chemotherapy for patients is the psychological one. They need to receive the moral needed support from their family and friends and the trouble is that many choose not to share this burden with their loved ones. Because of this, they will most likely lack in support and will have to carry this burden by themselves. Not being able to talk about it as they would, not being able to share will make them feel marginalized, separated from the people in their lives and will break their morale.

On the other hand, patients with chemotherapy will eventually build rapport with family and friends and choose to communicate about it and share the burden, may end up feeling guilty for spoiling family life and for being set on the top priority list, a list that is usually not considered a pleasure bringing one. They themselves may end up feeling that they have turned into a burden to their family putting strain on relationships and may choose to seclude themselves as a result of this feeling.

All these considered, it is highly obvious that family and friends of chemotherapy patients should get informed about what their beloved ones are going through and about how help can be provided in such situations. The moral strength of chemotherapy for patients can be kept above surface level or increased only by psychologists and people who honestly display affection and interest in helping.
