Question: Why do chemo patients look pale!?
I was just wondering, no harm intended!. Just that when I see chemo patients on televison on health channels theyre so pale!. Does the skin pigment just "go away"!. Thanks for answering!. :]Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It is because when you have chemotherapy they kill everything- even the good bacteria so you a sicker a weaker for a while!. It is a bit like when you are sick- you don't have rosy cheeks but your pale!. It is like that for the chemotherapy patients except they are constantly sick!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is a combination of the low red blood cells, the loss of facial hair (my friend's daughter has allopecia and she has lost all of her facial hair - she looks really pale too!.), and the nausea/exhaustion they have constantly!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

In my opinion, if somebody falls or something during cancer, they usually get loads of meds!. And I think the meds makes them more ill!. They should make something that doesn't make them weak or pale or anything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A few guesses: they don't feel very well from the chemo, their red counts are low from chemo, and/or lacking eyebrows/eyelashes tends to make you look a bit more sickly too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

they're sick and fragile!. when you get really sick im sure you get pale/green too!. take your sickness times like 1,000!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
