Stabbing pains are back

Those damn stabbing pains that I had for the first year after chemo are back. In my liver, gallbladder, rib area. I had almost every test done back then and nothing showed up, it went away. Now it's returned. My oncologist said that my liver enzymes were normal and he really thought it was nothing but would order some scans if it would put my mind at ease. I declined..I get my scans in July. With all that's going on with my brother, I don't feel like going through the scan bit right now. I really am beginning to think it's stress being manifested, maybe giving myself ulcers. I guess I've kind of learned to relax a little now and not freak over weird pains. It takes so long for us to get to feeling like we own our bodies after all this, still working on that one...just venting...sherryg683
