Why Tracking Side Effects Matters

Many side effects are manageable when caught early. By logging symptoms like nausea, fatigue, pain, and neuropathy daily, you create a record that helps your oncologist adjust medications, add supportive care, or modify your treatment plan before things escalate.

Common Treatment Side Effects

Chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and surgery all come with different side effect profiles. Common ones include fatigue, nausea, hair loss, neuropathy (tingling in hands/feet), mouth sores, and changes in appetite. MySaada’s symptom diary lets you track all of these with severity ratings.

When to Call Your Doctor

Some side effects need immediate attention: fever over 100.4°F, uncontrolled vomiting, severe pain, difficulty breathing, or signs of infection. MySaada can help you recognize warning signs and know when to seek emergency care.
