Hi,
I am sorry it has been a while since I’ve been on this forum.
I completed treatment and had my first post treatment MRI. The result showed no trace of the cancer. I will have a follow up MRI in four months.
It is a strange feeling being told all is ‘well’ after such a long journey through investigations, surgery and finally chemo-radiation, the pain was horrendous, as I am sure you all know.
I haven’t been left with some difficulties and pain when pooping. I occasionally have urine leakage if I try to hold it, not sure why that is, but it is very annoying.
The other issues I have is periods of extreme fatigue and pain. Some days I am perfectly well and then I get days when I have muscle and nerve pain pretty much all over. On these days I also feel exhausted.
I now also have shoulder pain all the time. I think it is arthritis or maybe some kind of inflammation. I mentioned it to my oncologist and she kind of nodded it through, suggesting that it can happen.
I would talk to my GP about it but it is now impossible to get an appointment. I’ve been waiting three weeks to talk to them about my bum pain when I go to the toilet with no indication that I will ever get an appointment.
Has anyone else on here experienced joint pain after treatment?
