Have they checked her iron and ferritin levels (stored iron)? Sometimes that can cause joint pain - not sure about foot pain but my ferritin was super high and I had severe leg pain to where I couldn't sleep. Once we fixed my ferritin levels it went away. Although that was more pain than neuropathy - the neuropathy I had because of low b12. Did they check her b12?

Yes, it is a side affect of the immuno theropy. She has stopped it because for her it was not working. The pain leaves for some people for that was not the case.😭

I wanted to add one more thing as just a general thought re; Lymphomas. I was sick for quite a Long time before beginning chemo. I really did feel MUCH better after I'd begun. I was so surprised... I've met a few others who had this happen and I'm glad I'm not the only one..

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.

My mom has been undergoing new treatment and her feet are always in pain. The tops of her feet hurt so much and god help you if you even genitally touch a foot. I am on the hunt for socks that will not slip and would be kind to her foot pain. Any ideas guys?
