Increased surgical pain after each chemo dose

Does anyone else find that their scars flare up in the days following chemo? I had reconstrcution and find that the pain in my scar comes back to life after chemo and I go backwards in my physio.

hi Sinclair,

yes i have found that my scars from the WLE hurt and flare up after chemo session. I have been told by nurse and onc that this is normal and other people i have spoken to said thay had this too. It’s worrying i know, every ache and pain you want to question. I afraid i on’t know of anything you an take for the pain apart from good old paracemol which helped slightly.

hope this helps

godd lick with the rest of your treatment

hi there,

yes, I too find this, particularly since I started Taxotere! I was really worried at first but have since been reassured that its nothing to worry about it.
