Can you please discuss the consequence of chemotherapy side effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few: Chemotherapoy has been given a bad RAP by uninformed lay folks but it has no major problems or complication if it is used by an experienced medical oncologist.. Some consequences are varying amounts of nausea and voliting. Hair loss can be a problem but not with all drugs. Blood counts can go down temporarily. Rarely there are effects on nerves, on the heart, kidneys or liver but they are reversi.
