Hi I am having docetaxol every 3 weeks and filgrastim injections for 7 days on round 5 and have a constant ache around my sternum/ rib cage. Feels bruised and I keep feeling my bra is cutting in to me - it won’t go away and I am worried the breast cancer may be coming back as it was close to the margins when I had my mastectomy . It’s only on the side I had cancer - has anyone else experienced this ?
