Re: Self Diagnosis

Jackie, thats exactly the sensation I feel, as if my ribs have moved. When I lie on my side it feels as if there is something moving, I told the doctor it felt like there was a snake in my ribs. I should have kept it simple and just said I felt movement. I think I have chemo brain, cant seem to express myself properly. Thanks everybody for your input.
