Sherry, Welcome here. My severe joint pain was due to Taxol and Carboplatin-infused chemotherapy. The side effect occurred like clockwork starting about 24 hours after infusion and lasting 2 days. Then things would return to normal. Like you, I could hardly walk at all and when I did, I suffered great pain. Nothing, even narcotic medication, relieved this side effect. I had a total of 18 infusions in three years of treatment and once my treatment stopped, so did the joint pain. Stay the course. Tom

Hope nodes are clear and surgery is curative for you!! Appreciate your update and will wait to hear on your final path..... Hang in there - this waiting is hard too...
