Hi All

Bejuce- thank you for posting to this message board. I have been terrified for a week now about back pain in my mid-back. Can't tell if it is just pain hanging on from taxotere, muscle strain, or of course the concern about bone mets. I have had many sleepless nights. I am please that you were in the same spot but had it resolve on its own. If it is still there in 3 weeks when I go in for my next Herceptin my doc is going to do a bone scan. I hope it gets better just as you experienced.
