Dehydration During Treatment

Staying hydrated during treatment is essential! Dehydration can be common in people undergoing treatment for cancer, especially in those who are experiencing side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

If left untreated or unrecognized, hospitalization may be needed. Learn how to recognize the symptoms of dehydration.
