Whole-body effects
Chemotherapy drugs go through your bloodstream and can affect your whole body. That can cause symptoms such as:
- Fatigue. Feeling tired or having little energy is a common side effect of many types of chemotherapy.
- Memory and thinking problems. People who undergo chemotherapy sometimes report memory problems or a mental fogginess that's sometimes called chemo brain.
