What can I expect from chemo side effects as treatments continue?
Community Member
15 days agoColon cancer in 2023. Surgery Dec 2023 followed by oral chemo in 2024. Cancer free for 1 year until metastasized to liver. Had tumor 1.2 cm removed and in chemo treatments. Completed 3 of 13 planned infusions. 3rd one got to me with several mouth sores making it had to eat plus fatigue. I’m wondering how the side effects will progress in terms of timing and degree?

14 days agoChemotherapy side effects can vary significantly from person to person, and while some people experience worsening effects as treatments continue, others find their bodies adapt or that side effects remain manageable with proper support from their care team. The mouth sores and fatigue experienced after the third infusion are common concerns that oncology teams are well-equipped to help manage through medications, dietary adjustments, and other supportive care strategies. Speaking with the medical team about these specific side effects can help create a plan to make the remaining treatments more comfortable and ensure the best possible outcome from this treatment journey.
