Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 hello, i did not do taxol but taxotere and the bonepain was bad. my onc advised to take tylenol - not ibuprofen - and it helped somewhat. it will get better with time, i am a little over three months out from finishing chemo and still have bonepain, but not like it was during chemo. hope this helps and my best to your sister caren in kansas -- In breastcancer2 , " lo10mt " wrote: > > Hello,my sister is fighting stage 3 breast cancer. she's already had 4 > AC tx's and is now recieving taxol. she says hausea is less but bone > pain greater now.
