Pain after disconnecting
I notice a lot of people speak of "mets", are these tumors that have metastisized to other parts of the body? Sorry if it is an ignorant question, but I am new here.
Thanks for the help,
Sandy

I have been taken off of FOLFOX due to extreme sensitivity and a severe reaction in spite of pre-meds. But, I can tell you that I had severe body aches just about everywhere when I was on FOLFOX. And yes, it seemed to be worse after disconnect. There were times when I felt like I was suffering through the worse flu I ever had with body aches everywhere from teeth to joints to muscles to lungs.
Remember that the chemo is killing off cells pretty much indiscriminately as it is not a targeted medication that hits just the cancer cells so you may feel all sorts of weird things. I just chalked anything that came along the first week or 10 days up to chemo and kept marching on. Good luck with your treatments!0 -

I had a lot of pain after chemo on my chest but I do think that it had a lot to do with my port. It was so uncomfortable. I asked the ONC to have ut raken out 3 months after chemo. My neck and shoulder hurt so bad from it.
Do discuss with your ONC.0
