Hello Lovey1000,

I am sorry to hear that you are having these unpleasent side effects, please get in touch with your lung cancer specialist nurse she will want to rule out any adverse reactions and make sure you have no signs of infection, she can then and advise on how best to combat this aching pain. Below I have added a link to Macmillan with some information on Paclitaxel.
