APR 16, 2025Cancer registrars keep track of vital information, playing a critical role in improving cancer treatment and research.
Read MoreA diagnosis of cancer can turn your world upside down and sometimes the side effects from cancer treatment can make things feel worse. Chemotherapy and radiation treatments are powerful treatments against cancer, but can also cause powerful effects in our bodies. If you or a loved one has received these treatments - you may recall having low energy levels, poor appetite and even taste changes. Unfortunately we can’t always prevent these things from happening, but we can try to be prepared to deal with them.
It is always important to be open with your oncology team as they are there to help you! Just because a side effect is common, doesn’t mean you have to suffer through it – there may be solutions.
The side effects from Cancer treatment can be uncomfortable and hard to talk about. Remember that you are not alone! Share all side effects with your oncology team and do not be afraid to ask for help. Visit CHI Health Cancer Support Services for more cancer treatment support options.
