Pain and chemo any help please

Less than one minute read time.

Hi all Ive not been on for a while so i hope you are all doing the best you can. I have a question my hubby had radiotherapy 10 days a go for severe bone pain he has nscl and sec bone, it doesn't seem to have made any different to the pain at all went back to see the oncologist and to our surprise he has offered us more chemo for the pain, has anybody else heard of chemo for pain before as i hadn't. would appreciate you help. 

Thanks very much

Have a happy thought a day it makes us smile as hard as the day can be sometimes

    Hi Louise,Pete had bad pain due to swelling of his liverand when he went back on the chemo all his pain went it may have been due to the chemo shrinking his tumour i really dont know but he does have pain in numorous places due to his mets and it seems to go when hes on chemo,so hopefully his pain will ease i hope so.Hugs Chris.xx

    Hi all my hubby has just had a free month from 2 nd line chemo for advanced bowel cancer spread to liver. He didn't have pain at all on chemo but has struggled this week pain and now on steroid with co codamol. He has to go back to see professor in two weeks to sed whatnext step will be. Perhaps tablets at home - has anyone had this treatment? We are having a tough time just now and he doesn't tell me much and won't let me go to appts with him. I get very frustrated at times and then feel v guilty. Love to all out there. Xx
