Hi Deb! Hate to tell you ; but it very well could be a chemo reaction; but
to be on the safe side I would have a bone density test done; as chemo also
deteriorates the bone. Good luck and glad you joined us, you will like our
little home away from home where you can laugh, vent, cry, the works and we
all will understand. Your friend, lillian
