If you experience side effects from chemotherapy, it is important to talk to your medical oncologist as there may be another chemotherapy drug that could be used or things which can be done to help you manage the side effects. There is also information and resources on the chemotherapy page of our website which might be helpful.
Best wishes,
Lisa
