I was treated with taxotare which is similar and yep around day 4 the bone pain kicked in. I felt like an old lady and very flu like. It only lasted a few days, and took that time off work and was kind to myself... Good excuse to hit the couch. One day at a time Sophie. You can do it. We all did so try and not get too far ahead of yourself. Easy to say I know. Radiation is a walk in the park after chemo. My radiation oncologist told me most people who do chemo find it easier. As for the reconstruction it has taken me two years to get to the point where I am about to have it. Maybe have a little break after treatment. However each of us are individual and I know lots of ladies just want it all done and dusted.
Hugs to you and your achey bones.
