nomadawn Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hi all, My mum has been tolerating chemo relatively well with tiredness being the main problem. Increasingly though she is feeling shaky in her legs as though she has walked for miles or done too much exercise. She also says she gets pain at the top of her legs near the joints. She says it makes her legs feel weak even though whilst sitting it isnt too bad.She is due her third round this week. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks Debbie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscherer Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 My mom had leg trouble during her chemo. Just talked with her DR more about it and he said it is probably from the platinum in the chemo. My mom also said her legs felt jumpy and kept her up at night. It has been getting better with time now that she is done with chemo. Hope this helps Prayers to you and your family, Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadawn Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 Dana Thanks for your kind reply. I do think it is a cumulative affect of the chemo as she said it seems to get a little worse with every round. Her oncologist thinks it is all part of the general fatigue.
