What Are The Side Effects Of Overworking After Bone Cancer Surgery?

Hi, my husband just had surgery on his arms for bone cancer and they removed seven lumps. Hes supposed to go through chemo in the next couple of weeks and I know hes overworking himself. I was wondering what kind of side effects there can be? He had surgery three days ago, and has been doing hard labor at work moving oil tanks for bp. Hes saying that his arms are going numb.

It is highly inadvisable for him to do so. 3 days post surgery for bone cancer of the arm, doing such heavy work can lead to a number of problems like pain, numbness, wound breakdown, infection etc. Also, he needs to conserve his energy and bodily reserves for the upcoming chemotherapy which will have its own toll. He needs ample rest, food and vitamins.
