Yes, I saw the oncologist PA last time in a video call. I told her about it and she said it may be musculoskeletal. Advised heat and Tylenol. I also asked the radiation oncologist staff. They said radiation doesn’t cause musculoskeletal issues and advised the same thing. I am having a PET/CT later this month so they may be able to see more of what is causing the pectoral issues. Thanks for responding.

@popsue , The scans sound like a good next step. And rest too, in case it is a muscle stress or tear. Keep us posted.

@popsue, did the CT scan show what the issue is? How are you doing?
