How Does Chemotherapy Cause Late Effects (Changes Seen Mont to Years after Completion of Chemotherapy)?
Chemotherapy causes many changes in your body. Some of them are detectable during the months when you are receiving your chemotherapy. Others are first detectable weeks, months, or even years after you received your last dose of chemotherapy. Norm age-related changes, infections, or the development of other med cal problems, such as diabetes, may make a chemotherapy-related change more obvious. For example, if you suffer subtle hearing loss as a result of your chemotherapy, you may not notice it until years later, when the effect of age-related hearing loss is added on.
