7 yrs clean of ovarian cancer but hurt all over

[shabbychicer]

I just wanted to know if I am the only one with many yrs after chemo and still have horrible joint/muscle pain and fatique.  I feel like docs don't really want to admit that chemo can do all this to you for so long.  I took carbo and tax for stage iii c. I was given the top dosing because I was so young to get this.  Ive had every kind of blood test there is and all looks good except thyroid and adrenal which I take meds for.  I also have terrible neuropathy in my hands and feet which I know is from chemo. Anyone who can shed light on this issue please let me know.  Thanks

Sorry to hear you had ovarian cancer. The loss of estrogen can cause joint and muscle pain as well as fatigue so that may be a contributing factor. Hysterectomy can cause reduced nerve and blood flow to extremities although chemo would probably be the primary cause of the neuropathy.

If you have Neuropathy the only thing they can do is put you on Gabenpentin for the pain. I did not get Neuropathy luckily. I have been in chemo for two years now. It is good you have been off treatment for seven years. I was Stage IIIC and it spread to my liver, spleen, heart, and lymph system the first year.
