    I know you
    had your surgery in Dec, and they did ALOT...I do know when surgeons start mucking about your insides, especially around the diaphragm, you can get shoulder pain. apparently there are nerves that run to your shoulders around that area. Robert has suffered with shoulder pain ever since his first liver resection in July 09. That has been his main complaint since that sx. Mobic seems to help some. Hope you are feeling better!!

    Yes
    Doing better, it gets better and better with time, still hurts to move it, but I don't have to use one arm to hold up the other arm to put on deodorant like last week, so that's an improvement, and the 3rd week usually I'm fine. But the next week after the Avastin it starts all over again. Big Sigh.

    Sorry
    I didn't do chemo, but I just want to say I hope this gets better for you.

    I am so sorry to hear of this pain. I don't remember having it when I was on avastin.
