I had chronic back pain in the exact same place on days 4 and 5 of all four of my TC cycles. I'm certain it was caused by the Neulasta injections. I also had pain in my face, jaw bone, hips and knees.
I too have been overwhelmed by my teenagers' beautiful behaviour during my treatment. It doesn't hurt for them to be reminded how special their Mums are!!!
I've also had a couple of unexpected down days since my chemo finished the Wednesday before last. When chemo ended, I felt a bit 'cast adrift'. I've kept busy with some intense retail therapy over the last few days though and I'm feeling MUCH better! Haha. Love Jane
