4 months agoDoes anyone else have big problems with chemo?
Accepted Answer
Chemotherapy side effects are unfortunately very common and can significantly impact daily life for many people going through treatment. Each person's experience varies, but know that struggling with these effects doesn't mean anything is wrong with how treatment is going. Consider discussing specific side effects with the medical team, as there are often ways to help manage symptoms and improve comfort during this challenging time.

4 months agoI’m almost at the end of my cycle, and I’m starting to feel more side effects, fatigue, low energy, just feeling off. It was going well at the beginning.

4 months agoChemo effects accumulate. You are much more likely to feel the side effects as you progress through it.

3 months agoChemo sometimes can be adjusted based on your side effects. Talk to your oncologist about all your side effects.

3 months agoLucy; ( my grandmother's name ❤️) thanks ! They did adjust it. I peeled slabs of dead skin off my feet, had an infection at chemo site, and more so they reduced it. Hallelujah. And that was my LAST ONE so Amen!!! 😃 I will pray for you that you do well in your trials coming up. God bless you!
