I have a question, plus a comment.

I am a cancer survivor of breast cancer, March,2000, to date.
When the mastectomy was done, 5 nodes were examined, one was tested positive.  Out of that, I underwent 8 rounds of chemotherapy.
As a result of the therapy, I now have a condition called narapathy.  It has settled mainly in my legs. It does affect my hips also.  I took 4 treatments of taxol. That resulted in my current condition, also, I have osteoporosis too.  My bones were weakened considerably from the chemo.

This condition known as narapathy; how long will the effects last?  I currently don't have a day that I don't hurt.  Also, I have suffered a compressed fracture of the t-8 area of the spine as a result of some of the chemo that I received, but one thing also, I am 60 years of age.  That has some bearing I know.

I get so tired of the pain.  It is an every day occurence.  It affects my whole attitude, moods, you name it.  Any help or advice on the matter would help me immensely.

Please email me at:  ***@****.

Thank you so kindly.
