Suggest Treatment For Severe Joints Pain
Hi. My mother is experiencing joint pain. She is a cancer patient, lymphoma, who is now on retukin every 3 months after having chemo for 6 cycles. She had her last treatment on Sept 1st. It is confusing because could it be a side effect of the retukin or arthritis. Can blood work determine this?

So do not need to be retested for your mother .After chemotherapy your mum need absolute rest, using nutritional supplements, protect the liver, and the injection of painkillers.
Hope helpful to you!
