Good morning ladies and gents. Please view my signature to give yourself a brief update on my cancer journey.

All has been going along beautifully. Then as of the last week or two my left chest is very painful. There is a very painful spot to the touch. Also an over all feeling of pressure or tightness - sore. Now keep in mind I did have full chest wall rad's. However, that ended in Jan 06. Never a problem before. Am I being paranoid. Is this just a problem coming from the past rads. This just feels different. Could it be the implants. Any comments ladies??

p.s. Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's eve. Here is to a wonderful new year for all of us!!!!
