Chemotherapy is often recommended for patients diagnosed with cancer. It is a treatment option for cancer along with others like radiation therapy, surgery, etc. Chemotherapy involves the administration of a combination of drugs and medicines in order to destroy the cancerous cells in the patient’s body. This, in turn, curbs the growth and spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body.
The drugs used in chemotherapy attack the rapidly dividing cancer cells in the body and stun them. Sometimes the drugs are given directly to the center of cancer, a process known as local chemotherapy. Depending on the type and stage of cancer, the doctor decides whether to use a single chemotherapy drug or a combination of them. The method of giving drugs, i.e., oral or intravenous, can also vary.

Chemotherapy is a process which is used to kill or slow the growth of cancer cells.

Pregnant women are generally advised against starting with chemotherapy. This is because the drugs can harm the offspring in considerable ways, such as causing breathing problems, improper birth weight, etc. But in case child-bearing mothers do go through chemotherapy, the risks, precautions, and other factors are discussed with the medical team beforehand. The risk of problems developing the baby is higher in the initial four weeks. Therefore, chemotherapy is generally started after that.
The therapy is also put to a halt before three weeks of delivery, in order to avoid complications like heavy bleeding, infections, problems to the baby, etc. Breastfeeding is not recommended post-childbirth because of the possibility of the mother passing the drugs into the baby’s bloodstream.
Preparation for chemotherapy majorly depends on your type of cancer and chemotherapy recommended by the medical team. The preparation might need you to do the following:
Go through an examination to determine if your body is competent enough to receive chemotherapy
Chalking out a list of side effects and risks along with an action plan to counter the same.
Have a device, like a pump or a catheter inside the body, in case of an intravenous chemotherapy
Have a proper diet and hydration plan in order to stay healthy before the chemotherapy begins
The chemotherapy cost in Delhi can range from Rs 12,000 to Rs 50,000 depending upon the type of cancer, type of chemotherapy, number of sessions, and other types of facilities required.
