Hi again.

Just processing this stuff re: pain from the Taxanes vs pain from the Neulasta.

Becky,perhaps you would lend your wisdom here. It is clear that both can cause body pain. I suspect that some of this pain (particularly those who are affected in feet, lower legs, and hands) is from the peripheal neuropathy? Or am I wrong?

Did those NOT on Neulasta/Neupogen also get the back/neck or all-over pain?

Thanks for your input.

Terri

PS re: neuropathy pain, did folk here do the icing down of hands/feet? Did it seem to help?
