Hi Kim,
I have experienced what you have described on and off too when I was on chemo with Taxotere and even after I had it. I still have active liver mets (stable). I remember a previous thread on this and I thought it was a Herceptin side effect. When was the last time you had a CT/PET scan? Have it checked for your peace of mind.
