Patients tell us that the side effects of cancer treatment can be harder than the cancer itself. This makes sense when you realize that cancer does not cause nausea or hair loss, but chemotherapy can. We also hear from many of our participants that the anticipation of the potential side effects was much worse than what they actually experienced. That being said, it is important to know that there are things you can do to reduce side effects.
Many people want to do anything possible to treat cancer that has come back. Your doctor will talk with you about different treatment options and how effective each one is likely to be. You might also decide to get a second opinion or get treated at a comprehensive cancer center that has more experience with your type of cancer.
