Has anyone had aches and pains in the sternum, rib area whilst on docetaxel and phesgo?

No sharp pains just a dull ache under the bra.

I’m having regular cardiac MRI’s and breast scans but just wondering if this is a common side effect to discuss at my next appointment or something I should give them a call about to discuss? 

thanks 

  • Hi TJGS

    I would suggest giving them a call. It sounds like you are being well looked after but there should be a cancer helpline at the hospital for people undergoing chemo- mine was on a printed card- I would suggest giving them a call for some reassurance. I often called mine and they never minded.
