Hi,
I am new to this forum, but have been encouraged by all the support.
I am er, pr-, and had a lumpectomy, mammosite radiation and 1 treatment of taxoterre, cytoxin followed by neulasta.I had a port put in before my first chemo(last Wed.) and my back is hurting really bad when I swallow(drink) and move certain ways. The onc nurse had me go get a chest xray- it appears fine. I'm wondering if the pressure put on my back/lung from the mediport surgery could have been enough to make this kind of pain persist, and/or if the neulasta can aggravate an already sore area. I have other bone pain(i'm assuming from the neulasta) but nothing like this in the back. Anyone have this experience as well?
Thank you.
