i think is good to ask not only for the short term side effects but also for the long term side effects. My sister is oncologist and she explained me all these effects . When I went to talk with my oncologist he didn’t say much which I think was completely irresponsible . I change doctors obviously and we finally decided not to go with Chemo as my risk of recurrence wasn’t that high and the benefit of chemo was below 1%. The side effects depends of course of the type of chemo. Try to look for second opinions that consider all the factors.

@angiemal thank you! I have had several opinions and most agree chemo to help with reducing the risk of recurrence. However, i try and do my own research and did not see some of the side effects mentioned here.
