Sudden chest pain

I wish we'd been warned about this possibility Sarah, it was terrifying! Mine turned out to be nothing much but thank God yours was caught in time! I suppose there are so many side effects that it's impossible for us to be warned about everything! At least we're still here to tell the telly!

Love Moira x

Wow, it really is all happening for you now, you must be so relieved about that.  I vividly remember all the appointments ramping up towards beginning of treatment and the relief when it finally started.

I would still mention your chest pain at your appointment tomorrow.

I will be thinking of you in the next few days and hoping all goes well.

I can’t remember if it was on the long list of potential side effects when I signed my chemo consent form but it probably was. I’m not sure how much I was taking in with all the information overload we get before treatment starts!

I took very little in too! In complete shock and just holding it together somehow! x

Thanks, Irene... yes, I will definitely mention it. I hope it's not something that's going to flare up during the treatment xx

Hi Sarah,

I'm not sure regards the CT, but last time it did the whole torso, so im hoping it will do again. I'll definitely be mentioning the chest pain. 

I was also reluctant to call an ambulance yesterday, but when it didn't go away after around 5 mins I started to think maybe I should! I live alone also, so that's a bit of a worry to me xx

Hi Moira,

It certainly is a frightening experience... glad you've not had it come back since! I hope it doesn't happen to me again too. I haven't actually started my treatment yet. It begins on Monday, so I hope it's not something that's going to interfere with my own chemo etc.
