the pain is tolerable today, no medication needed this morning, yesterday I had to take oxycotone morning and evening, which worked
great, I can judge now when my pain needs to be medicated-

@charlotte12 This is good news that your pain has evolved into "tolerable". Did you oncologist suggest that you stay ahead of your pain with medication? One of my doctors told me that one time about surgical and medical pain as you are experiencing and that I will know when pain is developing.

Hello-
I am a little late to comment. But a couple things. If you are not taking claritin daily, I would ask oncologist about this. This for lots of women, helps reduce bone pain. I have taken it since Day 1 of chemo, and have never had "bone pain". (I do not have Avastin in my regimen, as you do)
Also, everyone is different, but for me the cumulative effects are real. I had Chemo #5 last week. It knocked me down harder than #4. (for me it is extreme fatigue and a "restless" feeling in my whole body). Chemo 1-3 was about the same, but 4 & 5. Ugh. best of luck to you.
