For those who have had chemo and pelvic radiotherapy, how long do aches and stiffness in the pelvic area and legs go on for? I know we are all different and cope differently but I seem to have got aches coming back when I thought they had gone, it’s 6mths since my last radiotherapy after sitting for a while I’m like a hundred and five trying to get walking again
Hi . I'd have a word with your CNS or chemo/radiographers. I myself had Brachytherapy so can't offer any insight I'm sorry to say.
Mind you nowadays when I'm sitting for any length of time I get up like I'm 105!
