Someone I know had this, and something happened to them. Will that happen to me?
Not necessarily. Two people with the same cancer can have completely different treatment and completely different side effects.
What happens depends on where your cancer is, which treatment you are on, the dose, and your own health. What happened to them tells you very little about you.
