  Hi there,
  Yes, after treatment I get pain. And it is normal. Mine is usualy in my joints mostly in my legs all the way to my toes, but the pain changes. My Dr. told me to take any extra pain killers I have from my surgeries cause I "won't win any awards for left over pain medications" and "there is no reason to make your self suffer, not like you have already been through enough" That's what my doc told me. Anyways, good things to help... Nice warm baths with something relaxing in it... I use baby stuff because its so gentle on the skin... take all your viatmins and anything else they tell you to take.. I can feel the difference when I forget my vitamins... Rest, lots of rest when needed, even if for 5 min to put your feet up. I really hope any pains you are getting are settling down a bit. I know its not fun but hopefully soon they will go away. Big hugs to you!!

  Hi -
  
  Welcome to the group.
  
  Chemo is not too bad. I will have my 4th chemo on Thursday. You may start to lose your hair about 2 weeks after your 1st chemo. I ended up shaving my head, since my scalp statted to hurt, too. Your hair will grow back after 2 months after chemo is complete. The side-effects can range from nausea to neuropathy. All of us have experienced something. The best idea is to use a relaxation tape during chemo. That helps keep your mind off the treatment. For me, the time flys by even though it is about 4 hours of drip - 3 hrs of taxol and 1 hour of carboplatin.
  
  We are all here for you - ask us any questions. You will do just fine.
  
  Regards,
  Jane
