A member asked:
My husband is going through cancer treatment, radiation/chemo pills. what changes can i expect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the drugs: The side effects for different chemotherapy drugs can be very diverse. So it's hard to say without knowing what drugs they are. The side effects for radiation will depend on the area receiving radiation.
