But everyone is different, so if you feel something unusual, tell your nurse or doctor. Every effort will be made to fit your chemotherapy treatments into your schedule. It's important to understand that your treatment schedule is part of how your chemotherapy works, and so treatment times should not be changed without a very good reason. Knowing about possible side effects in advance can help you to prepare for, and deal with, your treatment. Chemotherapy affects everyone differently.
Some people have few side effects or none at all.
It's good to keep that in mind as we review some of the side effects you might experience. Some chemotherapy drugs can cause a queasy, upset stomach feeling called nausea. Severe nausea can cause vomiting. If you feel nauseous or if you vomit, remember that it's temporary. Tell your nurse.
