Hi, Pat: Breast cancer definitely can metasticise to the bone. A friend of
mine has had exactly that same thing happen to her. She is currently going
through chemo (again) -- Taxol and something else. I didn't mind the
morphine pump when I was in severe pain, but after being on the pills for
awhile, my muscles began to twitch -- very strange feeling -- and I didn't
feel better when I took it, I just felt horrible when I didn't. This was
when I called my doctor and asked her to get me off it. She did, with
gradual doses of Darvocet. Of course, now I don't need anything. This poor
lady obviously does, though, and I can't think of anything stronger than an
opiate, unfortunately. My heart goes out to her, the poor thing. I hope she
begins to improve soon.
Love, Kathy in Boise
