Hello. I am on carboplatin and paclitaxel for secondary endometrial cancer in para aortic and inguinal lymph nodes. Had 2 treatments so far. Sickness well controlled losing hair. I have been experiencing very painful joint pain as a side effect. It isnt neorothapy. Has anyone else had this and what stops the pain if anything. Thanks.
Hi Oak2. Just popped over from the Womb Group. Whilst you're waiting for an answer from the members here it might be helpful to type carboplatin and paclitaxel in the search bar at the top of the page - you should get some answers there.
I've also attached some reading materials on Chemotherapy for you to take a look at.
Best wished, B xx

I get horrendous joint and muscle pain for about 2 weeks after treatment- I'm going to talk to my Oncologist for him to recommend pain relief- make sure you ask yours too x
