My wife finishing chemotherapy

My wife has recently finished her cycles of chemotherapy, she had various side effects throughout, she has bile duct cancer and has had whipple surgery followed by chemotherapy. She has a CT scan this week followed by a doctors consultation to discuss her results, my question is, she is suffering badly with lower back pain, she has back pain anyway because of arthritis of the spine, but she says the pain seems more intense, also she has pains in her foot and one leg, I just wondered if this is caused by after effects from chemotherapy or something to do with the cancer.

    Hi Wireman,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear about the additional symptoms that your wife seems to have accrued since having chemo. If she is seeing her care team this week, it is certainly worth mentioning these symptoms. 

    It is also worth drawing up a list of questionsfor her consultant before any appointment.

    I hope that her results are reassuring when she gets them.

    Do please let us know how she gets on. We are always here for both of you.

    Kindest regards,

    Jolamine xx
