Learn how to manage the most common chemotherapy induced symptomsÂ
Nausea & Vomiting
Chemotherapy induced Nausea and vomiting is one of the most common side effects of treatment. Poor management is associated with a high economic burden and poor quality of life.
Constipation & Diarrhea
Gastrointestinal side effects of chemotherapy are often debilitating and overlooked. They present a constant challenge in the treatment of cancer and often contribute to treatment delays, dose reductions, and termination of treatment.
Fatigue
Fatigue is one of the most common and distressing side effects of cancer and its treatment. It causes disruption in all aspects of quality of life and it may persist for years in otherwise healthy survivors.
Hair Loss
Chemotherapy induced Alopecia (hair loss) is a shocking aspect of cancer treatment that is underestimated by many physicians. It negatively influences body image, sexuality, and self esteem. An estimated 8% of patients decline treatment due to risk of hair loss.
Neuropathy
Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy is a nerve damaging side effect of many chemotherapy drugs. It effects 30% to 40% of patients undergoing chemotherapy and can negatively impact quality of life.
