Hi
Shrinkage of your cancer sounds like great news but the fractured sternum sounds painful!
I haven't had this problem but noticed that no one had responded to your post. This could mean that no one currently in this group has had that either or just that they haven't seen your post yet. By replying to you it will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussions list.
If you type 'fractured sternum' into the search bar at the top of the page it does bring up half a dozen or so entries. You could have a look through them and see if any are similar to your experience.
