Oh yeah, forgot to answer the other question. I've had incredible joint pain. Especially the right hip. About 4 months ago, I had a bone scan done that came back negative so my rad onc went ahead and scheduled an MRI for the hips to see if the scan missed something. That, as well, came back negative. My onc said I could have developed arthritis from the taxotere. I had the TAC treatment. All three together for 6 cycles. My hip pain has gotten progressively worse to the point where I can't sleep on my right side. I should mention I'm on tamoxifen. All this makes me nervous but I don't want to run to the oncs about this every 3 months! We'll see what the pet scan shows.
Does anyone else have really bad joint pain? or been diagnosed with arthritis?
