Chemotherapy Side Effects01/20/1998 11:24AM |
What are some of the side effects of chemotherapy?
The side effects of chemotherapy depend upon what specific drug or combination of drugs is being given, the dosage, the frequency of drug treatment. The common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, susceptibility to infection, and hair loss with some drugs ( but not all). If you are a candidate for chemotherapy or already receiving chemotherapy, the physician and health care providers should inform you of possible side effects of your particular drug program.You play an important part in recognizing and reporting treatable problems early as well as taking precautions to prevent or reduce the side effects.
