Larry,

It is normal to worry about all of the tweaks, creaks, and pains following treatment. You are always on alert. After a cancer diagnosis, you can't help but be sensitive to every little thing. When in doubt, check it out. If you are still concerned, communicate with your Dr. or Nurse Practitioner. Some of these things just need time to work themselves out. You are still in the healing process. I'm assuming that you have follow up appointments scheduled over the next months. Keep a diary of your concerns and bring them to your next appt. About the scans--everyone is different. Ask your Dr. for more info on that.

All the best as you recover! And try to relax by focusing on something (other than Ca) that interests you. This is a wonderful group to share your concerns with.
