Diarrhea maybe a side effect of cancer and cancer treatment

People with cancer sometimes experience diarrhea. Diarrhea, a relatively common side effect, requires your immediate attention. You should let your health care team know at once if you are experiencing diarrhea, even if your initial symptoms are mild. Untreated diarrhea can lead to dehydration, a significant loss of fluid and electrolytes (like potassium, magnesium and sodium) from the body. Dehydration can trigger severe side effects, and even become life-threatening.
