Hi. I started my first session of chemo on 2nd January. (9 hours over three days in hospital) I have small cell lung cancer. I have been feeling quite well apart from feeling tired.
I have now developed a pain in my leg and hip - is this normal and a side effect of chemo or should I be concerned and contact my cancer care team ? I have been taking paracetamol but has now affect. I’m due to see the oncologist next Wednesday
