Recently, I have been experiencing much more discomfort, such as more nausea/vomiting, and muscle and bone pains. I've also felt tightness in my chest, which caused me to have shortness of breath. I panicked thinking it could be a heart attack and called the hospital. The doctor did not think this was heart related and instructed me to continue monitoring these symptoms.
These symptoms have also led me to get scans for a possible explanation. Perhaps the current treatment is not working, and I may need a new treatment. Hopefully this is not the case, as the current treatment is manageable. It would be nicer to think that these aches and pains were the result of the drugs beating cancer to death. But for now, I just have to wait for the scan results and hope for the best.
Update
Scans show that almost everything appears to be stable. Thank goodness! I definitely would like to know why I have these issues, but I'm happy knowing that everything is stable and I will stay the course for the current treatment.
