We are all unique and individual, so a diagnosis of cancer is different for every person. No two cancers are alike. Every cancer treatment is tailor-made for that unique person, so what is true for one person may not be true for another.
Treatment often damages healthy cells and tissue, and so side effects are common. However, some side effects are not commonly discussed, like constipation and premature menopause, and some seem common but are not, like losing your hair. Even if you are not having treatment, the one side effect of cancer common to all is anxiety, which can have a huge impact on your life.
