What are the negative effects of chemotherapy?
What are the side effects of chemotherapy other than temporary loss of hair?
Besides hair loss,
nausea, vomiting.
weakness.
hypersensitivity to any odors, (especially perfume).
Itching of skin.
Complete loss of appetite.
Profuse sweating.
Those are just some. Since your body is fighting the poison from the chemotherapy, you can expect almost anything, even failure of treatment. Just keep a positive attitude for the one who has opted chemotherapy. You might think about joining a support group for people with cancer. Since all chemotherapy is considered experimental, always have a positive attitude.
Best of love and health to you. I lost a mother and father to cancer.
it makes you very sick. chemotherapy drugs are essentially poisons, and they kill the cancer cells, but some good cells are hurt too. you get sick because your body reacts to having a poision in it.
and you feal very weak and tired

It really depends on the typ of drugs & how many & how long. I am in the middle of chemo for stage 1 breast cancer & do a cocktail of 2 drugs along with anti-nausea meds IV. I have had no vomiting & maybe a quesy stomach at times. Things taste & smell very differently, usually not good. I had body aches pretty bad the 1st round, better the 2nd by far. Diferent drugs have different side affects but they have improved on the nausea in most cases. God Bless!
