Dear Lovely1000

So sorry to hear that you still have pain in your joints. This can persist for some people after chemotherapy, however it may be worthwhile having your symptoms and pain medication reassessed.

You could also consider asking for a referral to a Rheumatologist, you can request this either from you GP or Specialist.

It is great news that you are cancer free. If you wish to discuss anything you can call us on our free nurse led helpline number on 0800 358 7200

Kind regards
