2nd chemo yesterday, feeling drunk and woozy last night, but good today, no nausea and I slept pretty well. Hair is falling it in handfulls but not really bothering me too much. A few other annoying little side effects but nothing major. So I'm pretty happy with that!
went to physio last week for cording in my arm - I felt pretty good going in, movement in arm was much improved and really good and core not too painful - but she smashed me! Dug into everything from bottom of ribs to top of chest- it hurt massively!! I screamed at one point and asked what she did, she dug into one of my drain sites...WTF?? I was bruised the next few days above my mastectomy scar and barely able to move my arm and shoulder at all. I did have a skin infection around my mastectomy scar so she said that's why it might be a bit more sensitive. She also said i was a lot sore than last time but i said last time she only did my arm and cording, not my entire chest wall...I honestly felt like I had some broken ribs. She was feeling about my car and diggin in and then decided it was the top of my rib! Is this normal????? Why did I pay $130 for this torture and should I go back? I went last Monday and only feel like it's getting back to normal now!! My daughter has been massaging the cording 1-2 times per day, should I just leave it at that?
