How can I deal with side effects from treatment?

  1. The side effects from treatment for lung cancer depend on the specific treatment given, and side effects vary from person to person. Many side effects can be managed, and some can be prevented; it's important to have open communication with your health care team. You can learn more about how to manage specific treatment side effects here: https://lungcancer.net/treatment-side-effects

    1. Reach out, there are many groups that are focused on types of treatments. Who better to discuss treatment side effects than with three hundred others all on the same treatment. I am in an immunotherapy group and there is many times these groups have helped me decide if the side effect was treatment oriented and gave me options to consider.
