JOINT PAIN & BODY ACHES AFTER CHEMO

[kristen]

Hi Lopsided,

I hurt toward the end of my chemo, which was 6 tx of TCH and it kept hurting for a long time. I know Taxotere is a rough one for some of us with the aches. I had to take some pain pills. They even ran a bone scan, I hurt so bad. I think it's the accumalation of it all. I also gained a lot of weight, over 25#. I hadn't ever weighed that much except when I was pregnant.
I think we all experience it differently. For instance I didn't loose my eyelashes until 2 months after I was finsihed with chemo. As the saying goes, listen to your body, if it hurts in one place specifically for more then 2 weeks and tylenol or motrin doesn't do the trick get it checked out. My onc. told me if it was bone mets it would keep hurting and those pain relievers wouldn't work. Hope this helps.
