Maria,

For peace of mind I would mention it to your oncologist. I have constant back pain but then I had lumbar fusion. The pain you describe, lower back and into the rump -- sounds like it could be siatica (spelling?). I'm not a doctor and I would surely have it checked out. I know that since my diagnosis every ache and pain I get my mind starts to run wild!
