A member asked:
I'm feeling nervous/scared/emotional before a relative starts chemotherapy. is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No reason to do so!: If you arm yourself with the necessary information, then you will not be nervous or scared. Knowledge is indeed power!. So look up all details about side effects and ask your doctor or oncology nurse to explain what to expect and how they will counter/control any and all side effects. You will be amazed that it is all pretty simple and straight forward, as >90% patients have no immediate side effe.
