Xeloda and Avastin - Rosehip for pain?

janecw

Is anyone taking Xeloda chemo tablets for secondary breast cancer?  I have been on these since October 2008 and have two more months to go.  I take for two weeks and then a week off.  Also have intravenous injection every 3 weeks of Avastin which is to stop the blood supply to tumours.  The combination seems to be working as I had a tumour in the lung which has now gone (thank God) but we are still targeting bone and lymph nodes.  Can cope with the treatment other than the pains in arms, shoulders - particularly at night and my Oncologist doesn't want to prescribe morphine yet?

Have read rosehip can help with arthritic pain and am considering taking same - anyone any suggestions please.

Cancer first started in 2000 - mastectomy all clear, but then in 2006 reared its ugly head again.......
