    I just discovered this site, and feel comforted by all the ongoing conversations.  I have completed my 4 taxol (every other week) with a neulasta shot 24 hours after each.  Usually the achey pain last about 2 1/2 days, but this is my 4th morning where I almost feel like I have a sciatic nerve thing happening.  Also, a strange dry rash has broken out on my left thigh!! I'm using Eucerin cream, but it's still there.  I can only stand vicodin for the first day and 1/2, so I'm feeling miserable.  Fingernails are discoloring, too.  I'll look for future responses.  Thanks.  CurlyAnne

    Anyone suffering from breast cancer must know that there are many other things they can do to beat the battle of breast cancer. I have had bone cancer and I must tell you natural treatments work more effectively than chemotherapy. The doctors told me they couldn't do anymore for me, so I followed the advice of Phillip Day and I am still here today. There is hope for everyone please just read what I have to say!

    I have beaten cancer without so much as a doctors help, and so have eight other I know of whom are willing to prove it. That's right the cure is through natural supplements. Has anyone heard of Phillip Day? I wouldn't have expected you to. The battle in defeating cancer is over, it has been won, already. There are many natural treatments available which can allow one to beat the disease. In fact I am one of them, I beat it when the doctors could do no more. There have been tens of thousands many of which were told hey could do no more they were terminal and through these natural good health ways they are still alive. Phillip Day and his books show that many scientists and researchers have found natural ways to beat cancer itself. The books are a collection of many studies conducted my world renown scientists and doctors. For further information I found this site yesterday- not as well versed as it could be but  good site http://www.cancerfightingstrategies.com/ Further information is on Linus Pauling the multiple Nobel prize winner for science said in 1994 " All people should know that cancer in our society today is basically a fraud." It is known that the reason for cancer is the pollutants and chemicals in our environments foods, shampoos, etc. There are natural ways to cleanse the body of these. Things such as vitamin B17 found to be absent on all cancer sufferers is to be taken- it is found in apricot kernels. What is interesting is that the selling of apricot kernels has been made illegal by the government in the USA. Why may you ask- that's the very question we are all asking, why would they ban apricot kernels- the only true source of B17 vitamins? This one factor amoung others shows that one can rid of cancer, like me who is living three years after I shouldn't be am here to show it is proof it works. I was shown this when my cousin's friend had turned to natural supplements against the doctors wishes and is alive and well today. Phillip Day's books must be bought, you can find them on websites. The real reason why we have chemotherapy is that it is such a successful market for business a multi billion dollar industry in western countries like here in Australia.  Doctors go to school and are taught about the drugs that are available, not natural treatments. I promise with all my heart this is true, I know that you all have a chance- Please find out more about these things it has saved me and can change anyone's lives.

    Faithfully Michelle- free of cancer.

    P.S Just try it its natural - it wont hurt.

    To anyone newly diagnosed or currently going through treatment, just my suggestion but I think it's probably best to ignore the above post from MikeyBB (and his 25 other identical posts from this evening).  There are no miracle cancer cures.

    Hi CurylAnne,

    I had to take neulasta also with the taxol, I wasn't sure which of them was causing me the aches and pains but they were quite sever. 

    Hot baths helped but I also took T3's "Warning .. causes major Constipation" to relive the pain and yes I also had sciatic pain but I associated it with lying on the sofa for a few days at a time.  I have had sciatica problems in the past from playing racquetball and managed to play in between my treatments so I assumed that it was from this and then lack of exercise for a week and lying on my back for long periods of time.

    Have you tried Darvocet that may help if you cannot use Vicodin
