@BoraBoraong story but here goes. December 2016 I fell over got stitches, it got infected. My arm went numb from elbow to wrist put down to the fall. Made perfect sense. Roll on 12 months it got a lot worse now with tingling in my middle and ring finger, orthopaedic surgeon, neurologist couldn’t work it out. 5 months on the neurologist did a MRI on my brachial plexus thinking it was radiation induced neuritis from when I had radiation 9 years prior. Perfect sense again. Results came back with it saying leaning more to malignancy rather than radiation induced neuritis. So my roller coaster began again. PetCT scan showed the tumour entwined so it couldn’t be removed. Fine needle and Core biopsies weren’t successful because of the location. Surgery to remove a part for a biopsy came back that it was definitely ER+ again. Had 6 weeks radiation. Now on letozole and the new drug Kisqali which is not agreeing with my white cell count. Oncologist today to see if I can go to 1 tablet a day. And that is my story nearly 2 years on from my fall. At least I know the radiation has shrunk it as I am not in as much pain now. PetCT scan in a month or 2 to see what’s going on. I also had some dodgy lymph nodes.
