Wow it has been a year now since began this round of pain and the finding of new lumps in my middle bicept tricept area same side of my breast and lymphnode involvment. I actually am seeing an orthopedic surgeon since cancer clinic sees no cancer but feel I need surgery for a bad shoulder.
When I had problems with pain after my fight for life, I had lots of deffered pain and that was in the shoulder area just as it is now but did not find a problem with shoulder then. Not much has changed except for these new lumps that also has this localized pain right there where they are yet that too isn't suppose to cause me pain so they say...
On Thursday I finally get the second opinion something I have never needed before. It is interesting when I am not working my **** off the areas of pain bother me more. I did two of my biggest jobs and my shoulder did not bother me at all but these lumps sure did, funny.
Well this is it ladies I can only hope there will be insurance money since my partner is loosing her job in November along with the Government benefits.

    So sorry to hear about your pain Tara
    I hope the second opinion will give you more insight.

    I found just because you don't feel it, it doesn't mean the pain
    is not there. I once went 3 days with a broken knee, because
    I was too busy and did not want to go see a doctor unless I
    REALLY had to .. lol.

    Yikes, I sure hope you will still have insurance, I am holding
    on to mine for dear life (wow literally).

    Hugs,
    Ayse

    Glad to hear from you tara
    I had shldr surgery 3 yrs ago. Not a big repair. What they call a decompression. Made a world of differance. Gets stiff sometimes, but just excercise it often. Hows everything else? Sorry to hear about your partners job. In Nov? Maybe something else will pop up. I have a appt mid feb with back surgeon to discuss me back. According to mri Im screwed up from S-1 to L-2. Thats like 6in of buldging discs with compressed nerves. Im still walking. Cancer makes us tough ole girls. Hope all is fine with your ortho guy. PM me. Prayers for you both. Katz

    Tara .. Please let us know the outcome of your 2nd
    opinion. As if breast cancer, our struggles with chemo therapy, and/or radiation - did I mention the surgeries - after care ... no HAIR was not enough to make 1 scream -- we find other physical injuries that keep us down .. or fighting ..

    Good luck and prayers ..
