4 days agoI am 2 years out from small cell lung cancer, latest PET scan showed no cancer at this time. My question is are any of you experiencing side effects from your cancer/treatments. I have edema, my body aches most days, I have issues with my legs and walking. None of my docs have any answers for me, I am so depressed over all this. I may be in remission but the side effects are upsetting to me. Any suggestions, help with my issues.

4 days agoLong-term side effects like edema, body aches, and mobility challenges can unfortunately persist years after cancer treatment, and it's completely understandable to feel frustrated when doctors don't have clear answers. Many cancer survivors in this community have shared similar experiences with ongoing physical symptoms that impact daily life, so you're definitely not alone in facing these challenges. Consider connecting with other survivors here who might have found helpful strategies for managing these types of post-treatment effects, and don't hesitate to advocate for referrals to specialists like physical therapists or oncology rehabilitation programs that focus specifically on long-term survivorship care.

11 hours agoMaryann, I am having the same issues. I felt better before I was diagnosed. My oncologist said to start walking. Tough to do when your knees hurt. I feel like they got us into remission. Now, we are left to deal with all of the side effects.
