Ok, I really need input!!  My circumstances are complicated!  I have bc in my right breast!  Had lumpectomy, chemo, radiation!  No real problems through any of that!  Finished all Oct 4, 2013, had port removed in December per instructions from MO. 

Now, the problem, I also have pretty severe scoliosis, although it has never really caused me much pain, but ever since the rads, I have had bad back pains on the right side of my upper back, exactly where the curve of the scoliosis is!  I can't get it out of my head that it's cancer in my spine,  I mentioned this to my MO and he sent me to OT for scar tissue, swelling and other stuff going on because of the rads.  I have had a chiropractor for years now and he told me before I ever started rads to expect issues, but geez, enough already!  I'm still seeing him and he just thinks the pain is all related to the "healing" going on from the rads.  All the fascia and tissue damage wreaking havoc!  I don't hurt constantly, but I always "know" it's there!

Can anyone offer any words?

Thanks in advance!
