Accepted Answer
It's completely natural to feel anxious about treatment side effects - many people in the community share these same concerns before starting their journey. While side effects can be challenging, healthcare teams have many ways to help manage them, and connecting with others who've been through similar experiences can provide valuable insights and emotional support.
