@pb50- You bring up a great point! Normalcy doesn't happen after cancer. It's life challenging, emotionally draining, and changing. I don't know one person who hasn't reviewed their life and changed in even a small way. I certainly did.
Physically you will change too. Your breathing will change and your chest wall's topography will have been changed. You might breathe easier too.
The most important thing is to get out and visit the world after you feel good. You didn't go through all of the pain and emotional toil and fear, not to change your life, right?
Was your rib broken? Mine were spread and then I broke a rin picking up a Thanksgiving Turkey to carry into the house. He was not walking through my yard! And that was very painful.
Can you move your arms without pain?

I can move my arms fine. And I just had my follow up CT scan I will have every six months for five years. When I met with pulmonologist he said there was no mention of any bony findings (which I knew because I read it when it came out). My biggest ray of hope was improvement in pain and tightness from the prednisone my rheumatologist gave me for hand inflammation. It’s low dose and only a 16 day step down course. But it tells us it’s some kind of inflammation. That’s more than I knew before. 🙂
