Common Side Effects of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Treatment
Many treatments for triple-negative breast cancer may cause certain side effects. These include:
– Nausea: You may feel nauseated and want to vomit for 1 or 2 days after chemotherapy. Prescription medications may help manage this side effect.
– Hair loss: Chemotherapy may lead to temporary hair loss after 2 to 4 weeks. Once the treatment completes, your hair will turn back.
– Exhaustion: Both radiation therapy and chemotherapy may kill both cancer and healthy cells in the body. Therefore, you may feel very tired and exhausted during treatment.
– Skin changes: There would be some peeling or redness on the skin treated with radiation therapy. [7]
