@TripleTea hey there!
Ohhh its crap isnt it!! I had Paclitaxel which is Taxol not Docetaxel, they are both taxanes but different. Taxol which is what I had for 8 weeks, caused horrendous, bone, muscle and nerve pain, it started out only a few days of the infusion and few good days before the next one. After about 5 weeks it was relentless and I was in agony until the end of the 8 weeks and then it took a long time to recover. Its 2.5yrs now since treatment for me, and I still have neuropathy in my feet, but Im managing these days with no panadol osteo, my legs still ache though when on them too long. So been an adjustment plus Im on Aromasin which like all of the meds causes aches. So Id take panadol osteo to help! Hugs Melinda xo
