Hey Lisa
I originally started off on Tamoxifin for a good month or so and suffered shocking side effects such as pouring sweating, aching etc. etc. When I went back to my onco he changed me to Femara. I have been on that for six weeks with virtually no hot sweats and no major aches and pains to speak of except the usual ones of course. Touch wood and fingers crossed and everything else as well that this continues on this same track pleeeeeeease.
I purposelly have not gone in to great effort in looking up the side effects as my attitude is we have to do everything we can to fight this mongrel disease and if Femara will help with that then at this stage I will continue to take it. Whatever we are going to take will have side effects just like the chemo did but we endured the chemo because as they say " they are not doing this "to you" they are doing it "for you". That is what I believe Femara is doing and until I find out different I will continue to try and keep this cancer at bay.
I am wishing you well with your decision making. I know it isn't easy and I know if I had to continue to endure Tamoxifen that I would have thought long and hard about it but I am happy to stay on Femara at this stage.
