Question, did you have any pain with the treatments. When meeting with Dr. yesterday he mentioned you will have pain. I am not sure why this is being mentioned. But, not the first time I have heard it. I mentioned having a headache after first radiation, and feeling off for about 4hrs., that was a 11 am appt., this week was a 8:35 appt., didn't really notice as much. However, yesterday after leaving I was feeling achy at my 3:20 appt. He asked about my stomach and whether having nausea, I am eating fine though still feels somewhat irritated since last chemo appt. or maybe both. Am using tens unit on my back right now is achy.

@terradean I was asked about pain several times also, but never had any during the treatments. I finished just about a month ago and started having achyness/pain in my low back, hips and legs about a week ago. I have been reading and that is a common side effect of pelvic radiation and for most people it says it normally subsides after a couple of weeks. Other than the headaches I felt good in the first few weeks, but as time progressed I did feel very tired, weak and had diarrhea quite a bit. I am still a bit tired but no longer feel weak and rarely have diarrhea now. Take care! I am praying for you!
