What are common side effects of chemotherapy that I should be prepared for?
CareBot 10:05 AM
Common side effects of chemotherapy include:

1. Fatigue: This is the most common side effect. Try to rest when needed and maintain light activity when possible.

2. Nausea and vomiting: Anti-nausea medications can help manage this. Eating smaller, more frequent meals may also help.

3. Hair loss: This varies by treatment but is temporary. Some patients find comfort in getting a wig before treatment starts.

4. Decreased blood counts: This can increase risk of infection, bleeding, or anemia. Your doctor will monitor this closely.

5. Mouth sores: Gentle oral hygiene and avoiding spicy or acidic foods can help.

Remember that not everyone experiences all side effects, and your healthcare team can help manage them. Would you like more specific information about any of these?
