Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M.Forum.
The chemotherapy ( anti-cancer drugs) of cancer have many side effects.
Not only these drugs develops rash,nausea, general weakness, fatigue, lowers immunity.
Your Dermatologist is right and within 3-4 weeks your mother will recover from these side effects.
Good luck.
