Hi all , I am currently undergoing chemotherapy for her2 positive breast cancer . I underwent a lumpectomy and lymph node removal back in April and have had 5 rounds of EC first then onto docetaxel . I am finding when I have had treatment I am suffering with very tender ribs almost like a bruised area to touch , when I touch my ribs they are quite painful on the side that I had my surgery. Has anyone else experienced this ? I have mentioned it to the breast nurse and she said it will be because of healing on that particular side . I wondered if anyone else has gone through this as you know what our minds are like , in overdrive and worry . Xx
Yes, I did. My lump was very low ie where the band on my bra is. It lasted longer than I expected too. However, it eventually go back to feeling normal
