Deciding on Treatment
Your doctor is the best person to answer questions about treatment, such as what the choices are, how well they might work, and what the risks and side effects may be.
Managing Side Effects
Some people have no side effects during treatment, but others may have several. Some side effects may change over time, although others stay the same. Your doctor or cancer nurse can suggest ways to ease the side effects you experience.
