Many people going through chemotherapy do experience various types of pain, including chest and back discomfort, as the body responds to treatment. It's encouraging that you're reaching out to connect with others who may have similar experiences during their treatment journey. Be sure to mention this pain to your oncology team so they can help determine the best way to manage it and ensure you're as comfortable as possible through your remaining rounds.

Yes. Spinal manipulation and acupuncture helps the neck and back pain. Chest pain comes and goes for me

My pain was like knives stabbing the abdomen in random spots. I choose to believe it was cancer dying. I had several days when pain pills were required. My oncologist had prescribed them with the words ‘Just in case…’
