Re: Pain/discomfort on radiated side (ribs?) when waking up
Hej BJ,
I didn't have radiation but had Taxol (I assume Taxotere is in the same family). I hurt in various places all the time (also still on Herceptin). My onc ordered a CT and bone scan. Had the CT already and it was clear. Haven't had the bone scan yet but have a feeling it's clear as well and think my aches/pains are lingering issues from the chemo. Still good your onc is checking things out. I've also heard people complain about arthritic type pain that are on Tamoxifen (so that could be a culprit as well).
