I was diagnosed with Ductile Invasive Carcinoma in November of 2024. After a Mammogram in October I felt
a lump in November. Fast forward, after a diagnostic biopsy, it was cancer and was caught quickly! I am fortunate to live near Mayo Jacksonville and got on the list for an appointment. Had also reached out to Moffitt Hospital in Tampa. My Doctor's team determined that with the type cancer I have has the best results with Chemotherapy then surgery. I was diagnosed with Estrogen + and HER 2 +. I have had one chemo treatment and the shot and found the shot is what is "whooped me"!!! Once the chemo is done, they will do surgery and I, at this point, am opting for a Lumpectomy. At this point because I caught it so quickly it has not reached my lymph nodes!!

That shot can absolutely whoop up on you. I remember how much bone pain I would get. A few years ago when my brother was on chemo, they told him to take Claritin for two days before the shot and two more days after and he never got bone pain from it. You could ask your doctor if this might help.
How are you handling everything?
