  • Hello Dee.1982 and welcome to the forum,

    I’m sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing sore legs after your first chemo session, it’s certainly not easy.

    If the pain persists or becomes more intense, it might be worth discussing it with your medical team to see if there are other ways to manage it.

    The other thing I wanted to mention is that you might also find some helpful information on how to manage pain on this page from our website.

    If you need more support, our team of nurses is available to help. You can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (freephone), Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm.

    You’re not alone, and many people in this community have been through similar experiences and can offer advice or simply lend a listening ear.

    Please don’t hesitate to reach out anytime.

    Wishing you all the best,
