hang in there Hi Aroma
I can fully emphathise where you are coming from - try to stay positive - I know its really hard - we’re all thinking of you and praying that your scan will be ok - let us all know how you get on.
Have just had my results of another biopsy after diag in 2005 - was terrified but thankfully just fatty tissue - - every ache and pain you get anywhere near the site you automatially think oh god its back. Hopefully, as everyone keeps telling me, it gets easier with time.
There for U

Dear Aroma
Only just noticed your messages. I had wlic, rads and hormone therapy in Nov 2005 - the radiotherapy took place in Feb 2006. I am still sore around the rib area, I can’t lie on that side for too long in bed, and don’t have full use of that shoulder, but did prior to radiotherapy. I had a dreadful winter with chest infections and coughs but I think that lung isn’t as it was before. My pain was delayed too, I think the radiotherapy takes a while to take effect. Hope this helps reassure you.

hello thanks for the message. yes my ribs ache too, but the concern is the opposite side from, my surgery just under my breast ,on rib area, also under my scar ,thats why i having bone scan but i worried that its back as the pain is similar to the pain in my breast before surgery, achey, its horrid as when i walk im aware of it and when i lie down. im hoping that im wrong and it is either rads damage or fluid build up so fingers crossed for monday but even then i have to wait for results again!! take care, love lynn x
