i am currently having chemotherapy for the second time i have had cancer. you asked a question i ask myself alot still, does the pain ever go away and i will say yes although you probably feel like it never will!!!i can only say i remember the relief when i started to feel stronger and the pain disappeared,felt human again. i even gave birth to a healthy baby girl 2 years down the line, unfortunately my cancer came back but i know things will get better, that i came through my first cancer knowing i could now cope with whatever is thrown at me. try to be patient and take it easy while you recover,you cant hurry you're recovery...good luck for the future
