Welcome! I see you are new to our site. I would suggest starting a new thread about your pain. Being new perhaps you need a little encouragement on how to do that or when to do that. I am no wealth of information on what you are experiencing but I am sure there is someone on the site who will be able to help. My laymen’s opinion would be to call you Dr. It is hard to know when under the care of an onc who to call. I am sure your onc would refer you to someone else if this is out of their expertise. I had pain on my left side where my surgery and radiation were. After a long period of time and several tests it turned out to be fractured ribs from radiation. I don't know how far you are in your treatment but I would check with your onc as soon as possible.

Here is how to start a new thread if you want to go that way. When you open the site go to Message Boards, from there go to Her2group and at the bottom of that page hit New Thread. When there be sure to title it and they type your message. Took me several times to understand how to do it. Being under another thread does not open it up to everyone, just who responded to that thread.

I do hope you are feeling better soon.
Donna
PS. One more thing to remember. The site will be down Sat morning for a few hours and no new threads will be posted at that time. I encourage you to post your concerns as soon as possible. Many are here to help.
