Oesophageal Cancer T3/N1/M1

A family member has recently been diagnosed with Oesophageal Cancer, it's spread to nearby lymphnodes and is in the outer wall of the oesophagus. Chemo is due to start soon but they are in a lot of pain at the moment (back and sides) has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal? Thank you.
