Hi Pilgrim,

I have just finished chemo and have got so paranoid by strange pains aches and mucscles along with headaches I phoned my onc for staging scans - I have them tomorrow, hopefully mine too will be Ned.

I was speaking to my breast care nurse and she suggested that it was probably a cumulative effect from all the chemo and the neulasta injections after each chemo but in her words breast cancer is the 'pink elephant' in the room and we tend to jump to the worst conclusion first!!

Hope you manage to cure the headaches,

Jenny
