is it normal to have body aches after quemo & radiation

A MyBCTeam Member asked a question 💭
San Jose, CA

I finished my last quemo on 11/28/12 and finished radiation on 2/28/13 but since the second week of December 2012 my body has been aching since them.
I have asked my doctor if this is normal and she told me that I was having late effect due to the quemo. I am now taking Tamoxifen for 5 years.

Yes it is normal. Tamoxifin causes joint pain. I went to my orthopedist and take Mobic which helps me so much.

I finished chemo and rads 1 year ago and I still have bad and good days. Still really achy and stiff days. Cold weather and rain do not help. On bad days I take Aleeve and it seems to help.
