Jean, saw you on here & hope the bone scan went ok. I too have had 2 bone scans along the way due to painful joints but all ok & seems to be a side effect of the Femara. I'm a lot better now & find taking Krill tablets (1000mg daily) really help with the joint pain. Hope everything else is good for you. How does it feel now being a little more knowledgable about IBC & your treatment? Takes me right back there when I read the messages of those with a new diagnosis. Everytime another 6 months goes by, I feel so much more positive that everything will be ok. Take Care. Terri xxx
