Part 2 of the doctor's "chemo emergency" series (Part 1 covered fever, vomiting and leg swelling). In 11 minutes he walks through symptoms that do not look like emergencies but weaken the treatment if ignored, giving each a green / yellow / red card — stay at home, call the doctor, or go to the emergency department:
- Diarrhoea — rehydration, the loperamide trap, and when it becomes an ICU-level problem.
- Constipation — its link with anti-sickness medicines (ondansetron) and the three-day rule.
- Loss of appetite — why it happens (cytokines, the hypothalamus) and "guilt-free feeding".
- Bone pain after G-CSF injections — usually not "cancer spreading to the bones".
- Insomnia — the dexamethasone (steroid) trap and steroid-related agitation.
- Hand-foot syndrome — capecitabine and urea cream.
- Bleeding / low platelets — petechiae and the day 10–14 nadir.
It ends with a "traffic-light card" to screenshot. For the fever rule and other urgent signs, see chemotherapy.
