Living after cancer treatment

Hi I have recently been told that my cancer has gone and my last MRI showed no signs of tumour which is the best news ever but I struggle really bad with mobility, walking very far and I am in excruciating pain. Has anyone had anything similar? My consultant isn't concerned as its just the side effects of treatment

    Pelvic radiotherapy is really tough and the after effects can be long lasting. I also had stage 2 cervical cancer, but major surgery in addition to the chemo radiation. My mobility is not good either-I can’t stand for long or walk very far but I’m not at the same level of pain as you unfortunately are. The radiation can cause small bone fractures, so I wondered if you’d been offered a bone scan? It can also cause general bone deterioration in the area. I’m sorry you are struggling and hope that things can improve for you.
