Hey Jill
Great to hear from you. Sorry to hear the Femara has not been good for your bones. I had a bone density test last week and will see Oncologist for results shortly. I have only been on Femara for a short time so far so I hope I have good bone density at present.
I was wondering if you were told to go on to a specific calcium tablet??? I saw a doctor at the Hormone Clinic at KEMH in Perth and she suggested I be on Vit D, Vit E and also calcium so I have added them to my regime of early morning tablets. I take so many tabs I rattle when I walk but if they are going to help then so be it.
I suffered from bone pain and stiffness prior to chemo but it worsened to alarming rates on chemo and then it all eased off somewhat but now I get some stiffness and some bone/muscle pain but nothing compared to when going through chemo thank god. I have also noticed a few hot flushes sneaking back in at night times over last few days where as they were really good after I stopped Tamoxifin. I can handle minor flushes as again they are nothing compared to what Tamoxifin did to me.
Lovely to hear from you and wishing you continued good health and happiness.
