Remission but in pain

Hi I'm in  remission from Hodgkins Lymphoma.   I have had 5 intense rounds of Chemo.  I'm in remission now fabulous but I'm experiencing immense pain in my body has anyone else experienced this? Thanks 

  • Hi Emma and welcome to the Cancer Chat forum.

    It's great to hear you're in remission although I'm really sorry about the pain you're in. It must be very tough.

    This could be a side effect from your chemo but if you're worried or the pain is becoming unmanageable, don't hesitate to get in touch with your GP or medical team.

    I hope this information we have about treating cancer pain will be useful but if it would help to have a quick chat with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. Our nurses are very knowledgeable and will do all they can to help you.

    Hopefully some of our members will stop by to share their experiences and advice but in the meantime, we're sending you all our support and hope the pain starts to get better soon.

    Kind regards,
