The long-term side effects of chemotherapy are determined by factors such as the body part or parts affected by cancer, the type of chemotherapy given, and the overall health of the patient before chemotherapy. Some long-term effects may include heart problems, decreased lung capacity, fatigue, hormone problems, and joint problems. Cancer can be beaten and the benefit of chemotherapy is far greater than the risks.
