Bonnie,

Is the "T" of THC, Taxol or Taxotere? I Know for sure that Taxol causes (at least for me and the other women in my support group) horrible bone pain. I think Taxotere does too, however I didn"t have it so I am not sure. Also, Nulasta causes bone pain.

On the third day after my treatment I would take 4mg 2x a day of decadron and 1 Zyrtec. For some reason those two durgs really help. The NP I saw at my oncs office told me to treat my bone pain that way.

Talk to your doc and see what you can do. I could not have tolerated the bone pain for all four of my Taxol treatments; the Zyrtec and decadron (even though I hate it) really helped me.

Take care,
Karen
