Hallucinations on chemo

Posted by s6819103 @s6819103, Apr 10 8:38pm

My dad is on his 5th chemo and is starting to hallucinate. He says it's as if he catches something out of the corner of his eye.. anyone else felt this way during chemo? Or what is happening

@s6819103 and @jmreed1958, here's some information about experiencing confusion or delirium while on chemo.
- Confusion and Delirium chemo side effect https://www.cancer.org/cancer/managing-cancer/side-effects/changes-in-mood-or-thinking/confusion.html

But it sounds like you both might be describing something different.

Did you share this side effect with your oncology nurse? Did they have any suggestions?

They suggested more hydration. So not much but he says it comes and goes.
