Hi

my partner has stage 4 bowel cancer that’s spread to the liver. He hasn’t started chemo yet but is complaining of aching calves. Is that part of the condition. It’s making him feel very low and this is before treatment has started yet.  Any help would be appreciated 

thanks 

  • Hi 

    It might be worthwhile asking his team about it . My mum certainly had it during treatment not before , but I think they like to know what’s causing it so they can treat it if necessary. 
    My mum’s potassium dipped and I think it was causing cramps . Once they find out the reason they can help .

    Take care ,
