Chemotherapy accumulates in the body, and understanding its effects can shape the treatment journey for cancer patients.

In this episode, Rachel and her new guests dive into the side effects of lung cancer treatments, focusing specifically on chemotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). They emphasise that the first chemotherapy experience can often indicate how future treatments will go.

Listeners hear firsthand accounts from guests Sarah, Maria, and Natasha, who share their personal stories about battling lung cancer and managing side effects.

This conversation aims to provide insights and reassurance for those currently undergoing treatment or about to start, highlighting the importance of communication with healthcare teams about any side effects experienced.
