Can the body withstand 25 radiotherapy sessions for rectal cancer?

Holding on refers to whether the body can bear it. If you have rectal cancer, you may need to follow the doctor's advice for radiotherapy. It is uncertain whether the body can bear 25 radiotherapy sessions, which mainly depends on the patient's age, physical condition, and the reaction after radiotherapy.

If you are young, have a good physique and strong immunity, and the reaction after radiotherapy is mild and does not affect your daily diet and activities, then you can usually tolerate it. However, you should pay attention to strengthening care, appropriate activities, and improving nutrition in the diet to improve the body's immunity and adaptability.

If you are older, weak, and have poor immunity, you may not be able to bear too many radiotherapy sessions. In addition, if you have obvious side effects after radiotherapy, such as severe headaches, projectile vomiting, leukopenia, etc., which cause great pain to the body, you may not be able to bear it after 25 radiotherapy sessions. You need to go to the treatment institution for a review in time and change other treatment methods under the guidance of the doctor.
