    I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I'm not a member of this group, I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

    I did have chemotherapy, for a different type of cancer, but didn't experience weak muscles. Have you spoken to the chemo nurses about this?

    While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.

  • Hello I had chemotherapy when I had breast cancer in 2006 and I still have some muscle weakness from this. I have just finished 2 years of immunotherapy and chemo tablet and I have muscle weakness from this also. I am tired and looked forward to feeling more myself, but I have muscle aches, and fatigue. It gets me down too
