(Triple Neg Breast Cancer, lumpectomy clear nodes dec, further cells in margin removal jan. chemo followed by radiation)
Day 6 after first cycle of PAC (completed 4cycles of EC)
ive had two days of paracetamol every 4/5hrs for painful legs and hips but today has worse with neck and spine pain too.
have others experienced this?
Hi Kimbo56
Are you having any white cell boosting injections ? as these can cause upper leg, lower back and hip pain. If not maybe phone your oncology unit in the morning for advice.
Lots of ladies here alternate every 2 hours with paracetamol and Ibuprofen for bone/muscle aches as the ibuprofen doesn't contain any paracetmol.
Hopefully someone else who has had Paclitaxel can help with how it was for them ?
Best Wishes, G n' J
Thank u I took you advise with paracetamol and ibuprofen and managed some sleep. Feeling more in control today
thank you so much
