Some people have very few side effects, while others have more side effects. For many people with KS, hair loss is the side effect of treatment that bothers them most. Luckily, hair almost always grows back after treatment is finished. At first, my doctor started me on regular chemo, and I lost some hair. But it came back.
Chemotherapy can also cause nausea and vomiting.
Having too few white cells leaves a person vulnerable to infection. A decrease in red blood cell count can result in fatigue. And a loss of platelets makes it harder for blood to clot. Radiation may cause some burning or discoloration of the skin. I went from freezing to radiation to injections.
