Unsure if such a list exists here. It seems to me the list of potentially prescribed agents (as you put it) is tremendous, and there are very good online resources for potential side effects for all medications now. Unfortunately, for each drug, the list of *potential* side effects is often HUGE and it's impossible to tell what any given person may experience.

While it is very wise of you to try to be prepared and informed in this regard, I will suggest from my own experience that you cannot predict what will happen for a given person, and cannot meaningfully avoid......bad things......?

I, for one, had bad mental reactions to something.......but what was it? Cisplatin? Fentanyl (pain patch, related to morphine)? Any of another multitude of anti-nausea medications? The steroids? The physical beating? Losing 20 lbs over a few weeks? Some combination of all of those, combined with my own mental quirks and personality? I have no idea, really. I experienced what they ultimately called a form of steroid-induced psychosis, or neurosis, in which I had an absolutely terrible "waking dream" in which I died.....but then I didn't.....and then I believed that my mind had died but my body had not taken the hint.

Things went downhill from there for a while.

I *can* say that I survived it (barely), and am doing very well now, one year and a bit from the climax (nadir?) of my treatment for tonsillar SCC. But, a large percentage of the last year royally sucked, to put it gently.

Feel free to PM me if you'd like. I went through my treatment in Vancouver Canada but am now living in London, England, for wholly unrelated reasons.
