Go see another doctor about your pain? I do not have any pains or maybe a very high pain potential? I broke several bones and did not have the normal pain even when I broke two bones in my arm?

True, what oncologist explained about chemo pills hits the bad cells directly. Some medications may work better on some and not so well on others. Currently oncologist has no answers for body aches almost every day besides achey bones and joints.

Medication attacks bad cells and not healthy organs. Medication is good until the cells mutate and the medication loses its effectiveness. Medication can control an illness but currently there are no cures for leukemia. I like the BTK Inhibitor which inactive B or T cells. I read there are new medications (BCL-2) which attach to the cells mitochondria to inactivate the cell? Vitamin and mineral including B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, C, D, iron, and magnesium, are among the most common causes of unexplained fatigue.
