My husband has had 2 rounds of FLOT and a further two to go before surgery for stomach cancer. He's currently got extreme pain in his lower back and thighs. Is this normal?

Hi Liz24,
Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear that your husband is experiencing pain. It will be his doctor/specialist who will be best placed to advise on this, so the best thing to do would be to speak to them to get their thoughts.
You are welcome to give our nurses a call if you would like to talk things through, although please note they are not able to give a medical opinion. If you'd like to do this, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).
Wishing you all the best,
Ben

Thanks Ben, the pain was fairly short-lived luckily. But he will mention it when he next sees his doctor this week.
Thanks again
