Health problems from cancer treatment
Some cancer treatments may cause health problems later on. These may be called long-term side effects. These problems might not appear right away and some don’t show up until years after treatment. Ask your cancer care team:
-If the treatments you had put you at risk for short- or long-term health problems
-What those problems are and how you can recognize them
-What you should do if you notice them
-What you can do to be as healthy as you can
Still, don’t hesitate to ask any questions you have and find out what you need to know about possible problems related to your cancer treatment.
