Hello,
A year and a half ago I was diagnosed with stage IIB NSCLC. I was coughing for about six months before I went to see a doctor. When I started coughing up blood that's when I panicked and finally made an appointment. Lung cancer was the last thing on my mind since I was a healthy 27-year-old female who has never smoked a cigarette. Oncologists that I've spoken since then were equally in shock and said chances of me getting lung cancer were one in a million. I sometimes feel that I've picked wrong lottery ticket. Two weeks after diagnosis 2/3 of my right lung and one lymph node were removed. After recovering from surgery I went through six months of chemo and 30 doses of radiation. As of last CAT scan (a month ago) I am clean and praying every day that the nightmare is over.
I have been having a hard time recovering. I went back to work 5 months ago and still have periods of extreme fatigue and difficulty breathing. Also, ever since radiation I have been experiencing pain in my collarbone. Sometimes it gets so bad I need to take percoset just to be able to move around. Doctors have not been able to pinpoint the problem.
I was wondering if anybody else here has had problems with collarbone?
P.S. Praying for all of you, stay strong
