5. Kidney and bladder function
Some chemotherapy patients may experience kidney and bladder infections. Needing to urinate more often, pain when urinating, urinating less, and swelling of hand and feet (edema) are common urinary complaints.
6 Common Chemotherapy Side Effects
One bad side effect of chemo for breast cancer patients is closing of your tear ducts. I confronted oncologist- said they didn’t know. Called opthamologist and he said it is quite common for cancer patients. He said if I had started on the eye drops b4 I started chemo I wouldn’t have had the problem. Tears going down your face. He had to clip my tear ducts to open them again. Wasn’t sure it would work but it did- thank goodness.
