Accepted Answer

Starting cancer treatment often brings many questions about potential side effects, and it's completely natural to want to know what to expect. Side effects can vary widely depending on the specific treatment plan, but common ones may include fatigue, nausea, changes in appetite, and increased infection risk, while some people experience few or manageable effects. The care team will discuss what to watch for with the specific treatment being considered and can provide strategies to help manage any side effects that do occur.
