How long does chemo take to start to work

My husband is receiving palliative chemo. How long should it take before it starts to ease symptoms ie help with swallowing etc.  He is on his first cycle of 3.

Thank  you

  • Hello and welcome to our forum.  Your husband should have a dedicated McMillan nurse to whom you can speak about any worries or what will happen. They will have all his details and should be able to advise and guide you.  No one on here is medically trained so use the services offered at his diagnosis and that should help you be more in control I hope his treatment goes well for you both.
