About this booklet

The booklet explains how chemotherapy works, how you can prepare for it and how it is given. There is also information about side effects, how they can be treated and ways to manage these. We hope it helps you deal with some of the questions or feelings you may have.

 

It is best to read this booklet along with our booklet Understanding lung cancer

 

We want everyone affected by cancer to feel our information is written for them. To do this we use plain English and we try to make it accessible and relevant to the widest range of people. Read more about how we produce our information.
