Body Aches
I finished chemo Sept. 13th and started radiation Oct. 9th. (Will finish next Tues.) I had achiness in my hips & knees, that started right after chemo, then about 3 weeks ago, my wrists, shoulders & fingers started to hurt. The docs thought it was probably from being pushed into menopause & having estrogen levels plunge, but now for the last two weeks, my back has hurt. I thought maybe it was from my 40 minute daily drives & laying on the table for rads, but today my rad. onc. decided to order an MRI since it has lasted 2 weeks. I'm relieved that he ordered one, but yet I'm scared too. If it comes out clean, that will give me some peace of mind for the immediate future. I know it's no guarantee but it's a starting point to move forward. This disease is so horrible. I pray there is a day when no one has to go through what we have!!
