EastCoastLadi Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Donna, It could possibly be the chemo. With chemo there are so many side effects and it varies according to the type of chemo. and the person. I would say that of course if your dad is in extreme pain to call his dr. right away. There is probably something they can prescribe or perhaps he may need to be seen. With me I'd rather be safe than sorry, because with cancer you don't know what is normal and what isn't. Sending prayers to your dad to get rid of his pain. Grace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Lamb Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Donna,everyone reacts different to chemo.Probably should tell the doc just to make sure it isn't anything serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebywater Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I had the thought--could it be a blood clot? I Think it is definitely something that needs to be investigated promptly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 As others have said, you should contact the doctor and tell him right away. The pain should be controlled, as well as finding out what the cause is. I wouldn't second guess -- could be side effect, could be blood clot, could be cancer.

ztweb Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Honestly I don't know. I always worry about mets, but I think I jump the gun far, far, far too much. I do know this....someone on here gave me the advice, "Pain management is the key to this disease. If you feel good you are ready and able to fight always." I believe this...so talk to the doc and get it figured out! Best of luck to Dad! Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumpy222 Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 Hi guys Thanks for all your advice, took dad to doc last night, he`s got some pain relief now thank goodness. Doctor seems to think its siatica(sp).. As apparently dad used to suffer with it a few years back... Hoping that the doctor is right but I have to admit that I`m worried dad`s cancer has spread to his bones.. Love and light Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
