Hi Caroline, Thank you for your message. I spoke to my Oncologist and she says she isn't worried about my bone pain. She thinks it's most likely linked to the chemo or the filgrastin injections. Thankfully it has eased now (probably psychological!). Am sorry to hear that you are getting back pain. Though to put your mind at rest I was told that chemo can affect your back, particularly if you have a weakness there or had suffered with back pain before. In fact a friend of mine who had chemo for Leukaemia still suffers with back problems and joint aches now (7 years on!). Though definitely worth you mentioning it to your BN, even so she can put your mind at rest! I have found that the diagnosis of the cancer was the easiest bit for me, it's everything that goes with it that I have found difficult. You begin this journey thinking that nothing can get worse than being diagnosed and you couldn't be more wrong! I have had 2 x DVT's, eye problems, bladder issues, bowel problems etc. Now I am waiting for my liver count to drop so that I can have chemo, am 2 weeks behind now. I am having a liver scan in the morning to check what is going on and I can't help but worry that the cancer has spread. I made the mistake of reading up about high liver count and the symptoms of liver cancer. Now I have a bloated stomach and pain in my liver that I am sure I have psychologically caused! The worry and waiting is definitely the worst part of this journey, by far!! Keep me posted with how you get on xx
