Hi Tina, the Taxol can have some nasty side effects. I started magnesium & regular Panadol for the bone & joint pain but progressed to heavy pain killers till after Taxol finished. You don't need to endure the pain on top of everything else, it stops you sleeping properly, no wonder we end up in tears. Ask your Doc for something to help you through this short period of time. Doc had me come in for IV fluids when I couldn't drink and that helped a lot too. You will make it through this time, just ask for the help you need. Sending you a great big hug, Tracey xx
