What are the side-effects of chemo?

Your doctor will yarn with you about side effects you may get. There are lots of things you can do to help with side-effects.

Chemo can make people feel sick and tired for a while. Most people don’t feel like eating much and might get sores in their mouth or throat. Some people may have trouble going to the toilet, and may have diarrhoea. Chemo can increase the risk of infections, so people have to be careful if they have a fever. Some people get headaches and can’t think as well as normal. Some people lose their hair, but not everybody.
