    Hi I have had breast cancer also, treatment was stopped after 4 cycles has I was very sensitive and felt very ill. It has been 10 weeks now since my last dose, my shoulders are the main problem,it's so painful, just cleaning up hurts and the next day I feel like I have been in the ring with Mike Tyson. I was very worried also I do think it is the treatment.
