Re: 2nd Chemo Update - Rib Pain Question
Hi Vicky,
I, too, did a different chemo than you......I did AC/Taxol + herceptin....however, I remember experiencing rib pain ALMOST the entire time. It concerned me greatly but soon found out (through here) that many, many, many of us experienced that.
As for constipation, I started Senakot the night of chemo - every time - and continued it for at least 3 - 5 days after. Once, I thought I didn't need it and NEVER did that again. While taking the Senakot I never experienced constipation.
Sending you prayers for "feeling comfortable" throughout this time.....trust me, this too shall pass and one day this will all only be a memory and a VAGUE memory at that. I am an almost 4 1/2 year survivor and the "past" I can hardly remember. I'm not quite sure why, but I can't. My husband says it's God's way of protecting us by taking these unpleasant memories from us.
Love and hugs...
Mary Jo
