Yes, this is possible. Chemo stays with the body for a long time, and it takes a very long time for your body to heal. Plus, there are other side effects. If you had chemo or radiation, your thyroid gland may stop functioning, which takes away energy and prevents you from feeling 100% good. If you had high doses of treatment, had cancer in your bones, or had a treatment that used prednisone, you may have problems with your joints. I have something called osteonecrosis from my cancer treatments, and my effected right hip is always sore. If you or someone you know is suffering from those symptoms, see a doctor! They can find out if it's a side effect/complication of treatment or a different problem.
