Hi Daffodil. I can relate to you. My radiotherapy was delayed by 3 months due to a serious infection. I am about to start 15 rounds of radio from next week but I am scared as I have this pain in my right arm which is worse when lifting my arm. I am not sure what caused the pain but I have been having alot of aches and pains in my back and arms at night. I just pray the radiotherapy team will be understanding and help me position. I also have a scar about 2cm port removal about 3 week ago. I wish you the best of luck and hope we will be OK. Its awful what we are going through but as cancer patients only we understand and are here to support each other.
