Lani,
Thank you so much for posting....I've been having this tightness and ache in my chest that radiates to my arm pit. I am CERTAIN this is what it is!!!

Amazing....I had JUST scheduled an appointment with my radiology oncologist as a follow up. I'll keep the appointment but I am CERTAIN.

OK.....I must admit to a wave of scanxiety, I have my 6 month set of complete scans in early April and I was afraid that the ache was signifying cancer in the chest wall. For the moment I am very relieved.

Melanie and Snufi,
Any insights in terms of what I should do? Based on some extra internet searching I am hoping that some stretching exercises is the answer. I'd appreciate any information you can share.

Thanks!!!
