Well I thought that after a year and a half after the bilateral mastectomies and chemo I would not have to worry about anything but to watch out for more cancer returning but I was wrong.  I just recently learned that when I had my chemotherapy that the chemo has caused some nerve damage and I am now in constant pain from this.  I was also told that the effects of chemotherapy can last a lifetime so I will be fighting this battle for the rest of my life.  I know that I have to be strong so I go the physical therapy twice a week to battle the side effects of the chemo.  Well I just wanted to share this with u all so you may understand that there may be some side effects from your chemotherapy (depends on what type) that may last longer than you think so I would ask your doctor when they start you on chemotherapy.
