I finished chemo about 10weeks since and radiotherapy about 5 weeks since. I seemed yo get through the treatment OK but I have suddenly become very lethargic. It feels like every joint in my body aches, even my finger tips. I had poor mobility before treatment but got about with a stick. My mobility is now much worse. I do have osteoarthritis but I've never had so much pain as now.
Hope you get answers. My oncologist didn't seem to have nothing but tiredness is normal.
Hi thankyou did you have any kind of scan after your treatment? X
I haven't had a scan. I had high intensity radiotherapy
Oh i had chemo aswell and im going on chemo tablets for 2 years
It probably late side effects as i had few through the treatments. I have depression as a long standing problem. I just can't get going.
