Friends,
I finished Herceptin in May and had my last infusion of Carboplatin/Taxotere last September. I had a full body bone scan in February that was completely clear and just a month ago had a routine follow-up physical with my onc. Again, all was clear. I have been having an ache along my shin bone for about a week. It is enough to keep me awake at night. I am fearful that it is the cancer returning in my bones. Am I being paranoid and unreasonable. Could the cancer recur this quickly? Any thoughts?
Thanks!!
Brenda
