does chemo get easier with time?

My husband is on his 1st cycle of chemo, he has numerous side effects, do the side effect get better or worse? At the moment he's wondering whether quality of life outweighs quantity. His cancer is incurable and he will be on chemo for the rest of his life.

  • Hi carol , I had 6 intensive rounds of chemo . The after effects can be awful . But remember the sickness can be dealt with , the aches and pains can be helped , and for the rest ur hubby just needs to listen to his body and do what feels comfy . Talk to the nurses , they will do everything they can to help . I can't say if it will get better for him as we all react so differently . But don't give up , I'm sure managing the symptoms can be helped xxx 

  • Thank you Lulu. We have a medical review on the 16th so hopefully he will get some help and begin to feel better about things. Hope you're well now xxx
