Cancer patients can experience a wide range of symptoms and treatment side effects. If you've been diagnosed with cancer, your treatment team will likely use multiple strategies to manage symptoms of the illness, as well as the side effects that come with chemotherapy and radiation.
At Arizona IV Medics, we're dedicated to helping patients across the state find relief from their symptoms. Some cancer patients find that IV therapy helps them feel better after treatment. Although an IV cannot fight cancer, it can improve your quality of life by alleviating common side effects and symptoms like nausea, headaches, fatigue and dehydration.
For patients currently undergoing cancer treatment, our experienced nurses and paramedics typically recommend our
Myer's Cocktail. This IV, which costs $200, introduces essential vitamins and antioxidants into the bloodstream along with saline to rehydrate the body and get you feeling better fast. We can also recommend medicines to add to your Myer's Cocktail based on your specific symptoms.
Depending on the type of cancer you have and the type of treatment you receive, symptoms and side effects can vary a lot. Symptoms can include everything from dehydration and fatigue to headaches, nausea and vomiting, constipation, diarrhea and more. Symptoms and their severity can also vary from person to person.
IV therapy has the potential to relieve a wide variety of symptoms. Because fluids and nutrients enter directly into the bloodstream, the body absorbs them quickly and in concentrations oral administration cannot achieve. As a result, many people start feeling better by the end of a 45-minute session.
Once we understand your symptoms, we can formulate an IV to meet your needs. When added to your Myer's Cocktail, medications like Zofran and Toradol can help keep treatment-related nausea and pain at bay.
At AZ IV Medics, we know that every type of cancer comes with its own symptoms and challenges. We have worked with people being treated for many types of cancer, including:
You shouldn't have to deal with cancer treatment side effects on your own. At Arizona IV Medics, we bring IV therapy to you, so you can start to feel better without leaving the comfort of your home. To ensure you receive the best IV for your needs, our compassionate staff will complete an assessment and answer any questions you have before making a recommendation.
