| Kelly ~ You are on Taxol now right? I just want to assure you that I had (and many other wonderful ladies) joint and bone pain it seemed with Taxol or Taxotere. Sometimes it would seem to focus on one spot (hip, back or leg) and I would get concerned until I was reassured that it could be treatment related and not necessarily anything else. I think your Dr. is wise to wait a few more weeks before you do expensive tests. Has the chemo put you into menopause? It put me there & it seemed I was in more pain because of that. Now, I am out of it & almost wishing it was gone again! :-) 
 Try not to touch that spot for a while and see if it gets better on its own. I wish you grace and peace this weekend.
 
 Ruth
