I am halfway through four cycles of chemo - Cisplatin and Gemcitabine. Have had the usual - hair extremely thinning, nausea especially with the Cisplatin, low white blood cell and platelet counts that cancel treatment, and a mouth sore. The newest ailment, which started four days ago, is a burning sensation in left shoulder blade area. It's not constant, very sporadic. Not always brought on by movement. I'm wondering if this could be a side effect or if I just pulled something or pinched a nerve.
Didn't want to call the doctor on the weekend, and now this morning planning on heading out on a 3-day road trip with family. Just not sure if this could be something serious. Btw, cancer I have is urothelial.
Thanks

Hi Marie, It's always best to
Hi Marie, It's always best to check in with your team when there's a new symptom. Perspective for those who have cancer and otherwise very independent, a call into the doctor or on call doctor is always perfectly reasonable. Yes it's very possible it's a pulled muscle but those caring for you are the best to answer whether to be concerned or not. Cancer and chemo can do just about anything.
I hope you have a good trip.
