I am 5 months in treatment for Diffuse B cell lymphoma located in rectum. I have had 4 rounds of R CHOP and am over halfway through radiotherapy.  My last chemo was end of January and since then I have aches and pains in my legs.  Has any one else experienced this.  The lymphoma has also caused a fistula which actually I have found initially more traumatic than the cancer. It is now manageable  Is there anyone in the group had to deal with this at all.

  • Hi again, leg aches and pains are one of the treatment ‘left overs’ that can last far longer than you want or like...... I found the winter months the worst as I was less active but the more I did the better this were..... this will pass.

    I also have some post radiotherapy surface skin problems surrounding my rectum so in some way appreciate the challenges, good days and bad days but more good.
