    Side effects

    I dont believe anyone who has ever undergone chem or rad, comes out of it forever changed in some form or another.  It sucks.

    chemotherapy have so much side effect

    hi, as we know the chemotherapy and radiation have so much side effect, so the new cancer treatment minimally invasive therapy had been used to treat cancer.

    Hi! Same here everyone! I finished chemo in 2016 , and it’s now 2023 and I can barely get out of bed! I’m super active, working a lot in my job and have horrible pain and stiffness most of the time. It is not fun.. sometimes after a long day at work I sit down on the couch and struggle for a while to get up. I drop things, trip , walk like I just ran a 10k and am not getting better. I am age 55. My doctor always denies any side effects have to do with chemo. Lol .. I do feel eating right .. which isn’t always easy 😂does help. Talking walks , limit alcohol, getting rest, going in jacuzzi/spa and massages make things a little better temporarily. Best of luck, stay strong ♥️🙏

    Funny, my rheumatologist and neurologist both told me that my peripheral neuropathy and my rheumatoid arthritis were both chemo-induced. I really hope you guys are all going to feel better. I know how hard it is. I'm headed for round two (10 years later) and not looking forward to it at all.
