Michael has be struggling with severe shoulder pain for the better part of this week. He told the chemo nurse and she suggested that he get it x-rayed but the pain is more in the muscle and not the bone. That evil voice inside my head keeps telling me that the cancer has spread. But after I talk myself off the ledge...I do the logical thing and start scouring the internet for answers. I've read that muscle pain during chemo isn't uncommon. Some believe it is from all the free radicals from the chemo. The Oxycontin doesn't help much...so he takes Advil which seems to help a little and I try my best to distract him from the pain without irritating him.........that could go either way!
