My treatment started almost 2 years to the day and lasted 18 months. I completed all my treatment with determination and positivity. I have been 6 months now since my treatment finished but have still not been able to return to my work.
my treatment seems to have taken a real toll on my bones as every bone in my body aches 24/7 with my arms being the worse. I was diagnosed with a frozen left shoulder (that was the side of my cancer) but my right shoulder is even more painful with limited to no movement in this arm at all without extreme pain, even right down to my fingertips (I drop thing a lot now) and don’t have the strength to open bottles. My legs are weak and the soles of my feet hurt to walk on. I could’t tell you the last time I ever slept through a whole night.
I get anxious leaving the house if I’m away any more than a couple of hours. But to walk my dogs with my daughter. I’m nowhere near the person I was before cancer. I am 54 years old.
