What are the Side Effects of Chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy uses high-energy beams to destroy cancer cells but sometimes the healthy cells surrounding the cancer cells can also get affected. This is why there are many side effects of chemotherapy:

• Nausea and vomiting: As an effect of chemotherapy the digestive system becomes overly sensitive which makes the patient more prone to nausea, eventually leading to vomiting.
• Fatigue: The healthy cells in the blood marrow that are responsible for creating new blood cells often get affected by chemotherapy resulting in fatigue.
• Hair loss: Chemotherapy also affects our hair follicles which is why cancer patients notice hair all over their body falling out.
