Side Effects!

Most people (including me before chemotherapy) assume chemotherapy means loosing your hair and feeling sick, but for me and most other patients there are a lot more side effects.  If you are starting chemotherapy or just want to know more here is a list of the side effects people don't tell you about:

  • Bloating
  • Cravings
  • Constipation

  • Diarrhea
  • Extreme Fatigue

  • Finger nail infections

  • Nausea

  • Piles

  • Sensitive feet
  • Sickness
  • Toe nail infections
  • Thrush in the throat
  • Ulcers (from the throat to the bottom)
  • Weight gain (effect of steroids)
These are side effects that I experienced, it does not mean everyone will get them!
