How to deal with chemotherapy after double mastectomy?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
GET INFORMED: I assume you are asking how to deal with the potential side effects. It all depends on the chemotherapy drug. Each has its own side effect profile and it does not mean that the person who receives it will experience the side effects associated with it. We all hear nausea, vomiting, tiredness and hair loss but again best thing is to talk to your treating oncologist and/or nurse regarding the chemo.

Family and food: After double mastectomy and now facing chemotherapy is really hard. Ask your family for help and support. They will help you. Also get a nutrition consult to find anything you can eat that will help keep your strength up. It is a battle and you have to stay strong. Look for support and I wish you the best.
