Background:
Finished 3 chemo, and 35 radiation sessions. Remainder of tumour was removed a couple of months ago, and they're waiting for me to be cancer free for 3 or 4 months before inserting tubes in to my bottom tear ducts which were melted shut.

In the last month, I have been hit with joint pain. If there's a joint, it's in pain. Some days, I can hardly walk based on the pain. Anybody else experience this type of pain? I'm going to mention it at my next oncologist appointment but, in the mean time, thought I'd mention it here.

Welcome to the club, sounds like you have been properly initiated. I hope your post treatment side effects are few.

As for the joint pain, are you drinking tons of water and getting a well balanced, nutritional diet? Sometimes it is the easily overlooked items that mater the most.

Feel better,

Matt

I have been eating a balanced diet but, don't drink as much water as I should.
