Thanks for the responses ladies.

Barb, I am really hoping that my pain turns out to be like yours, probably due to the Zometa.

Becca, I'm so sorry to hear that you now have lupus to deal with on top of bc.

Brenda, it does sound like side effects do not mess around with you - way to go! For me, if an SE is listed in the 'Possible but not likely catagory', I have more of a chance experiencing it than the run of the mill SEs. Go figure.

Guess I will have my answer in two weeks - I hate waiting!
