Most cancer treatments have side effects that can make a person sick while undergoing the treatment.
These side effects may last for a period of time after treatment has ended. However, not every person having treatment for cancer will experience side effects. Most side effects experienced will disappear with time. In addition, there are ways to manage symptoms caused by the side effects. In addition, because of the use of anesthesia in surgery, there is a small risk that a person undergoing cancer surgery may die.
