My boss and I were diagnosed with Her2 BC the same month. I got very sick with AC and couldn't work, she worked and was able to go to a wedding and a birthday party. I had a comparatively easy time with Taxol -- bone aches but not pain. She had to use percocet for severe pain with each Taxol infusion. All of that is behind us, thank God. Yes you certainly can get bone pain with the Taxanes. One thing I took away from treatment is an amazement and respect at the individuality of every body.
