Hang in there, pain can occur from Zometa or Taxol. I have been achy from Zometa and other chemos in the past. Sometimes it takes a while for drugs to respond. If you are having Bone Flare this can be the case (it gets worse before it gets better.) You can request the Tumor Markers CEA and CA27-29 be run biweekly to see the trend. On average it takes 8 weeks for chemotherapy to show its response in scans.

In the mean time ask for something for the pain. There is no need to suffer you can take something to help ease your pain.
I truly wish you the best.

Hugs,
