I have stage 4 lung cancer which has spread before caught. What I’m wondering if anyone has problems with all joints sore? I was on chemo and immune therapy 8 months and since (I quit chemo due to very sick days) been on just immune therapy and felt pretty good until the last week.

Mayo visit 1st and 2nd of June.
Here is the link, https://www.amazon.com/Short-Shot-AKA-N-B/dp/B086GD6PX3/ref=sr_1_1 for Nancy's book.
I have experienced sorness especially in the joints ever since I started Immunotherapy in Oct 2019. I had been receiving it every 4 weeks, however, when covid-19 hit, my last two infusions were cancelled, but still real bad joint pain.. mostly in my arms.

@janlanderz– Hi Jan. Nice to hear from you. While you were actively having immunotherapy did you ask your oncologist if there was something to control the pain? What was the medicine? Do you have a new appointment scheduled?

I’m on immunotherapy also but none have been cancelled. Oh yes can relate to sore joints. I also fell on daily walk and did loss of bruising. I’m hoping that’s all its is. Go back to Mayo June 1st and 2nd. For scans and blood work. See dr following day plus infusion. Dr home 3 hours without traffic. Lol thru MInneapolis.

@shortshot80 My book arrived late yesterday and I'm up to the year 1970 when you bought the fishing boat and named it "shortshot." Funny story about how that name came about. Regarding your childhood, I can't imagine that you had your teeth drilled without novocaine! That must have been terrible. You are made of sturdy material, Nancy!
