Tiredness hide. Tiredness (fatigue) is one of the most common side effects of chemotherapy. Many people having treatment feel generally tired a lot of the time or tire very easily during everyday tasks. If you're working, you may want to ask your employer for time off or to let you work part-time until your treatment has finished.

An embolus is a particle that moves about in our blood vessels, either in the veins or arteries. Most emboli are composed of clotted blood cells. A blood clot is called a thrombus and a moving blood clot is called a thromboembolus. As an embolus moves through the body's blood vessels, it's likely to come to a passage it can't fit through. It lodges there, backing up blood behind it. The cells that normally get their blood supply via this passage are starved of oxygen (ischemia) and die. This condition is called an embolism.
