Side Effects of Chemotherapy
The side effects of chemotherapy depend on the drugs that are given. In
general, anticancer drugs affect rapidly growing cells, such as blood cells
that fight infection, cells that line the digestive tract, and cells in hair
follicles. As a result, patients may have side effects such as lower
resistance to infection, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, or mouth sores.
They may also have less energy and may lose their hair.
