Explanation:
Anemia: Chemotherapy, radiation therapy and some cancer types can deplete red blood cells, leaving you tired, lightheaded and short of breath. Your provider can test for anemia and recommend remedies such as rest and a healthy diet.
Bleeding and bruising (thrombocytopenia):Chemotherapy and targeted therapies can deplete platelets — cells that clot blood to stop bleeding. This can leave you vulnerable to bruising and bleeding. Talk with your provider if you notice changes.
Bone loss (osteoporosis): Cancer and treatments such as chemotherapy can lead to bone loss. Weight-bearing exercise, proper nutrition and supplements can help. Bone-density screenings are also recommended.
Cancer recurrence: Cancer survivors face the possibility that their cancer will return. Cancer treatment can also increase the risk that a patient will develop a new type of cancer. Talk with your provider about regular screenings and other follow-up appointments. If cancer runs in your family, you might want to consider genetic counseling and risk assessment.
Constipation: Chemotherapy and pain medications can cause constipation. A high-fiber diet and lots of liquids can help. Talk with your provider before taking any medications. Our cancer dietitians are also available to help.
Diabetes: Cancer medications can raise your blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia), increasing your risk of developing diabetes even after treatment. Let your doctor know if you have dizziness, light-headedness, or increased thirst or urination.
Diarrhea: Cancer and treatments can lead to diarrhea, putting you at risk of losing too much fluid. Call your provider if you feel lightheaded, have a fever or have dark yellow urine or are not urinating.

Eye problems: Chemotherapy can increase the risk of dry eye syndrome and cataracts. Specialists at the OHSU Casey Eye Institute can provide expert treatment.
Fatigue: Feeling tired is common among cancer survivors. Exercise, relaxation skills and strategies to preserve your energy can help.
