What are some words of wisdom for a patient about to endure an "alkylating agent" chemotherapy drug?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For any chemo:: Know about the potential side effects but do not expect to have them. Keep a log of symptoms without getting obsessed by it. Be honest with yourself and your doc regarding side effects. If a chemo is damaging your quality of life significantly, you need to say it. Your doc can't know if you don't tell.
