Oh, Carol, is that EVER a re-run! :) My father has had backaches since he
started chemo (carboplatin and gemzar - and initially taxotere w/
carboplatin) the first time. The nurse said it's not from the chemo itself,
but from the pre- and post-chemo shots. I think it's the steroids. His bone
scans are clean too and have been all along. -chris
