Regrowth may take three to five months after the chemotherapy is done. Loose or watery stools can occur with some chemotherapy drugs. It will be important for you to keep track of the number of diarrhea stools. Notify your physician if this lasts for more than 24 hours, or if you are noticing any symptoms of dehydration. Signs of dehydration may include dizziness or feeling lightheaded, especially upon moving to an upright position, dark or concentrated urine, dry mouth or an increase in pulse.
Mouth sores can occur with chemotherapy.
The sores can develop on the tongue, gums or in the throat. It is important to have good oral hygiene. In addition, you may be instructed to use a salt and soda rinse. Rinse and spit four times a day. Call the doctor if your mouth sores stop you from eating, drinking or if you have difficulty swallowing.
