Came online to look for this EXACTLY!
Throughout my entire chemo protocol, I have had soreness under both arms and in the upper right portion of my left breast (BC was in the right breast). The oncologist and the PA both said it was nerves acting up because of the chemo. It seems to be getting worse, and it is FREAKING me out! Should I press for something more?!?
I don't feel any lumps or swollen areas, but it surely uncomfortable and the mental aspect is just draining. What do you guys think? Should I just take their word on it being a side effect of chemo?
