Speak Up!
The best way to minimize chemotherapy side effects is to ask what to expect before treatment and then pay attention to your body and your moods so you can let your care team know about side effects that are persistent, distressing or both. Modern cancer care includes many tools to help minimize side effects. It’s your right to make sure you have access to the resources that can alleviate potential side effects from chemotherapy and any other therapies used to treat your cancer to protect your quality of life now and in the future.
