joint pain
Hello friends,
I have been done with chemo since Sept. 13th. I'm a little more than halfway done with my 33 rads and am having Herceptin every 3 weeks. I've had some stiffness in my hips since ending the Taxol, especially after sitting for a while.
But now this past week, I'v started to hurt all over! My wrists, shoulders, elbows, fingers, ankles and now my back!! The rad. onc. said he doesn't believe it has anything to do with cancer but he said that when cancer goes to the bone, it will usually go to the spine and now I'm paranoid because my lower back hurts. I have an exam today and plan to ask questions, but I was just wondering if anyone else has had this kind of stiffness and achiness. I'm not on Tamoxifen yet but am worried that that will make this even worse. Someone on this site mentioned that when the chemo pushes you into early menopause it can cause a form of arthritis. Does anyone know any more about that?? I'm trying not to over react, but with all we go through with this disease, it's hard not to. Hoping for input from you. Thanks, Lindyjo
