SYMPTOMS

Bone marrow suppression: Nearly all chemotherapy agents cause a reduction of blood cell counts including the following:

Anemia - decrease in red blood cells
Neutropenia - decrease in neutrophils (a specific type of white blood cell; a main defender of bacteria)
Thrombocytopenia - decrease in platelet counts
Pancytopenia - decrease in red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets

The following are the most common symptoms of bone marrow suppression:

Low platelets:
- Easy bruising
- Bleeding: nose bleeds, gums, or mouth
- Tiny red spots on the skin (petechiae)
- Blood in the urine
- Dark or black bowel movements
Low white blood cells:
- Fever and chills
- Rash
- Diarrhea
- Signs of infection (anywhere in the body):
- Swelling
- Redness
- An area that is warm to touch
Low red blood cells:
- Fatigue
- Paleness of skin, lips, and nail beds
- Increased heart rate
- Tires easily with exertion
- Dizziness
- Shortness of breath

Immune suppression: A frequent result of chemotherapy is immune suppression due to the loss of a number of blood elements including neutrophils and platelets. Neutrophils are white blood cells that are critical early responders the body uses to combat foreign pathogens. When they are depleted as a result of cancer therapies, the host becomes highly susceptible to life threatening infections. Similarly, a significant loss of platelets, which are key clotting elements in the blood, can lead to life threatening bleeding episodes.

Digestive tract symptoms: Chemotherapy can also affect the digestive tract, and may cause persistent nausea and vomiting, decreased appetite, severe constipation or diarrhea, dry mouth, sore mouth, gums and throat, mouth ulcers.

Liver damage: Liver tissue can be damaged in the process of treating cancer and may result from chemotherapy drugs. Damage to the liver may be very mild and without any symptoms. This can only be detected on blood tests that represent the liver functions. In more severe cases of liver damage, patients may become jaundiced and develop other problems such as:

Coagulation problems and bleeding
Fatigue, weakness
Confusion
Coma

Kidney damage: Some chemotherapy drugs can cause kidney damage. Symptoms of kidney damage include:

Difficulty passing urine
Swollen ankles
Thirst
Nausea
Vomiting

Pulmonary toxicity: Lung damage is the most serious side effect of certain chemotherapy drugs which may present itself as shortness of breath or cough, after a few treatments. Patients may experience any of the following:

Shortness of breath
Cough
Fever
Chest discomfort

Heart toxicity: Some patients, despite proper management, may develop heart damage from their treatment for cancer. They may experience:

Shortness of breath
Cough
Loss of energy
Irregular heartbeat

Radiation proctitis: This is the commonest long term side effect of radiotherapy. Proctitis can cause a feeling of wanting to strain (whether or not you actually need to pass a bowel movement), and bleeding from your back passage (rectum). You may also have a slimy mucous discharge from your rectum. Some men only have the straining feeling. Some only have bleeding. Bleeding is usually slight, but can be more severe. Your bowel movements may continue to be looser or more frequent than they were before you were treated.
