What are side effects of chemotherapy?

Depends on the drugs: There are many types of chemotherapy. They all cause rapidly-dividing cells to die, which might cause hair loss, mouth ulcers, decreased white blood cell counts, upset stomach, nausea, fingernail changes, and tingling. Ask your doctor about your regimen, because side effects are different for each drug. For example, some chemotherapies don't cause hair loss!

Depends: Different kind of chemo will give you different kind of possible adverse events. Some chemo will cause nausea, vomiting, suppression to bone marrow, hair loss, numbness , tingling etc more than others- while others are not giving such a big problems with above. So, discuss with your oncologist in detail re- possible side effects of chemo that you are going to receive.

Totally variable: Completely depends on which chemotherapy agents are being used (ex bleomycin vs. vincristine) Talk to your oncologist, and be selective when getting info from internet.
