What are the side effects of chemotherapy please. I have been told I will need 3-6 months
Welcome to the forum Pez2 I have linked in a thread created by members that you might find useful. It covers mainly Oxaliplatin and capecitabine .
They not only cover the side effects but care tips that assisted them .
All the very best with your treatment .

Here is the list for the commonly used treatments . It will allow you to get familiar with them before your meeting and they will let you know which route you are taking . Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin are still quite commonly used but some consultants prefer different protocols . It goes into the side effects .
Take care and keep in touch .
