    Chemo hurts your body as its exposing your body to more radiation to kill infected cells. Either it’s the cancer itself or the chemo.

    Since you have not mentioned the kind of cancer, it would be difficult to comprehend what could be the reason.
    One of the major effects of cancer and its chemotherapy is called Deep vein Thrombosis, kindly contact your oncologist and find out the cause at the earliest as DVT could be life threatening. But it can also be something very benign but better get checked asap.

    Run to your doctor- sorry, get to your doctor asap because while it might just be a part of the inevitable damage it is doing, it could be harmful!!!
    Where is the cancer in your body?

    I dont if that`s normal, but you should ask your doctor about that pain in your leg.

    Yes, it could be normal. Chemo saps your bone marrow and can give you achy, even painful legs. My daughter went through intensive chemo at the same age. Her legs would hurt a lot. Talk to your doctor and make sure that it’s not something serious.

    My daughter is 13 years out of treatment now and doing great. You hang in there, you can do it too!

    It is normal, especailly if you are taking the chemo called Vincristine. That one is natorious for making your legs hurt. Legs also hurt if you have bone cancer. I’m not sure what type you have. My daughter has leukemia and complains with her legs hurting a lot. Good luck
