Hi
Thanks for your query.
Some chemotherapy drugs do cause aches and pains. However, cancer itself may cause bone pains if it has spread. You may consult with her oncologist regarding need for any scans to rule out bone spread. otherwise you can use some over-the-counter pain killers.
Hope this helps.
