Why is my body aching after chemo and can I stop treatment early?

Body aches and fatigue are common side effects that many people experience during chemotherapy treatment. It's completely understandable to feel discouraged when dealing with these challenging symptoms, especially when you're already going through so much. While the decision about continuing or modifying treatment is something only you and your medical team can determine based on your specific situation, it's important to discuss these concerns with your oncologist who can explain the treatment plan and explore options for managing side effects. Many people in this community have faced similar struggles with treatment side effects, so you're definitely not alone in feeling this way.

hang in there, I'm having my 3rd treatment on the 16th and I know I will feel puny for a week maybe. But each session is worth it, not saying I won't whine, if it gets rid of the cancer. My hair is almost gone but it will grow back, Lord only knows what color/texture but it will grow back. Did you get an injection of white blood cells? Those make my arms and legs ache but Claritan (yes Claritan) helps. But we will get thru this, maybe one crappy day at a time, but we will. So be brave, go for the 6 treatments, we will survive.

I agree about Claritin. It definitely helps with side effects and also makes it so more drug enters the tumor. An allergy pill, who knew? Hang in there. Attack the cancer metabolicly by cutting out the pathways it uses to grow like glucose and inflammation. Eliminate sugar in all of its forms and processed foods, seed/veg oils, dairy, and gluten to bring down inflammatory markers. Stay in the fight.
