[LAURIE]

I have had 5 treatments of Taxol anf Herepetin now and have lots of bone and/or muscle pain. I usually have it in my thighs, feet, collar bones and neck. Although it also moves to short pains in all parts of my body. This week I started to have the numbness in my fingers and toes. It is very slight. I hope it does not get worse. I had a terrible time on A/C. The quizzyness is something I do not miss. I get treatment on Tuesdays and feel great on Wedenesday, and have pain Thursday- Saturday. I have not found the right combo of drugs to combat the bone pain. Vicodin makes me too constipated. I also have a hard time sleeping on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Overall I would rather take this over A/C, because this means I am closer to being done. Isn't it great we can complain about side effects on line and so many people can relate. I have tried to describe to my friends and family and I really can't find the words to explain how I feel. I am so glad you all are here.
