i'm looking for information on the backlash of chemotherapy for lung cancer. What can patients usually expect?
chemo can be really difficult. Typical side effects include nausea, fatigue, hair loss, and increased risk of infections.
yeah, fatigue is a big one. I've heard that some people also practice modifications in taste and appetite, which can make it harder to eat correctly.
exactly! It's important to handle those backlash. I've read that eating tiny, frequent meals can help with maintaining energy levels.
that's great advice! Hydration is also important. Staying well-hydrated can help with some of the backlash. Each person's practice can vary, so it's good to talk to your healthcare team about what to anticipate.
