Expert Tips
Eat light and stay hydrated before your chemo session to reduce nausea and fatigue. Tell your doctor if you’ve had a fever, cold, or infection recently—it’s important before each dose. Hair fall may happen, but it’s temporary. Use a soft scarf or cap to protect your scalp. Watch for swelling in your hands, feet, or face. Let your doctor know if it gets worse. Don’t skip blood tests—they help your doctor track how your body is handling the medicine.
