How Will I Know If My Chemotherapy Is Working?
Your cancer care team will measure how well your treatments are working by testing you regularly. This will include physical exams, blood tests, bone marrow biopsies, scans, and x-rays. Ask your doctor about the test results and what they show about your progress. Although you may have side effects, these side effects do not tell you whether or not treatment is working.
