Chemotherapy side effects

My mother has recently undergone treatment for breast cancer, having a number of ops and finally removing the cancer from this area. She has just had her second dose of chemo, and has been experiencing bleeding from her bowels? Had anyone else experienced this? She is really stubborn and refuses to believe it could be a serious issue.

  • Hello LplusD,

    We have some information on chemotherapy side effects here. I hope you find it useful, but I would also recommend you ring our nurses and talk to them about your mum's bleeding from her bowels. 

    If you are based in the UK, do pick up the phone on Monday and ring this free number 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I would also mention it to your mum's consultant and get their advice on this. 

    Welcome to the forum - you will meet some great people here also caring for a loved one with cancer who will support you and share their experience with you.

    Best wishes,
