How long do side effects last?
Most side effects slowly go away after treatment ends and the healthy cells recover. The time it takes to get over some side effects and regain energy varies from person to person. It depends on many factors, including your overall health and the drugs you were given. Because many targeted therapy drugs are still quite new, it’s hard to say how long you can expect side effects to last. We do know that some of the side effects from standard chemo drugs can last a lifetime, such as when the drug causes long-term damage to the heart, lungs, kidneys, or reproductive organs. We still don’t know if targeted therapy drugs cause these kinds of long-term changes. Patients often become discouraged about how long their treatment lasts or the side effects they have. If you feel this way, talk to your doctor. You may be able to change your medicine or treatment schedule. Your doctor or nurse may be able to suggest ways to reduce problems or discomfort.
