Managing side effects
Cancer treatments can cause side effects that vary from person to person.
Some side effects are short-term, while others may last longer or appear after treatment has finished.
Common side effects
Side effects may include:
- Fatigue
- Pain or discomfort
- Nausea or digestive changes
- Changes in mood or concentration
Not everyone experiences the same side effects, and support is available.
Getting help
Always tell your healthcare team about side effects, even if they feel minor. Early support can help prevent problems from becoming more difficult to manage.
Support is available. Managing side effects is a key part of cancer care. You do not need to cope on your own.
