What is this pain?

Since sometime on Wednesday, I have been having a strange pain on my right side, below my rib cage, front and back. At night it is so bad I can not even turnover, and I kept poor Kyle awake Wednesday night (he said I was moaning and groaning like a ghost all night).

Yesterday I visited Dr. P and he ordered an ultrasound, blood work and chest x-ray. So far, there does not seem to be any cause they can see. I spoke to the primary care nurse at the Cancer Centre and she noted everything, but again, it does not seem to be related to the treatments. It feels better in the mornings than the evenings, but the meds (percs) take the edge off to let me get to sleep.

We have decided to head up to the cottage (we have been waffling back and forth), because if I stay home, I will just have to deal with kids.

It is one week since my first treatment and except for indigestion and hiccups, there has been no reactions. I still have my hair, less the hank I cut out and coloured for wig matching.

I guess we will see you all from the other side of the Labour Day weekend.
