Hi everyone,
I was dx 5/05 with stage IIIc e/p- HER2+++. I was in a clinical trial and received FEC100 x4 and Taxotere/Xeloda x4 (all with Herceptin) followed by mastectomy (no sign of cancer), and radiation (x33). My radiation was completed in mid February and I just had my last Herceptin (1 year). About a month ago I started having pain in the ribs on the side of the mastectomy. It hurts to turn over at night and there is a very sore spot. My question...can this be from the radiation (4 months later)?
I enjoy the forum and although I don't usually post, I do appreciate the support.
Thanks,
Peggy
