Is extreme thirst after chemotherapy normal?
Patient: Hi, My dad just finished his 4th round of chemo (Alimta and Carboplatin) for his lung cancer following pneumonectomy. However, since his 3rd round of chemo, he has been excessively thirsty. First we thought its good that he s drinking lots of water but now its getting too much especially when he ends up going to bathroom way many times. Plz help! Doctor: HiThirst after chemotherapy is very common.I would advise you to drink at least 3.5 litres of water per day.RegardsDr de
