First meet with the Medical Oncologist
Hi everyone so I met with the oncologist yesterday and as a few of you lovely ladies asked me to let you know how I went... The medical oncologist was really nice... He has put me on Femara to start...
good morning Melclarity I spoke to my GP yesterday and you were right, he told me that it wasn't a good idea for me to take herbals, :(melclarity said:Hi Sue,
I'm ok thank you, yes to be honest I just put up with the hot flushes which were chronic being thrown into an unnatural menopause. I threw the tablets it just wasnt worth it for me at all for the sake of the hot flushes. Theres a thread at the moment on Herbs actually...apparently you have to be careful of what you take with the Ai's such as Femara etc., I didnt know that to be honest.
Oh i only mean in that Ive never had a bone density scan so I wouldnt know what my bones were like, so once I finished chemo I had it done and it showed the t scores for various spots. So 2yrs later and 6 monthly prolia injections and Vit D everyday, I had another bone density and apparently its improved but I havent seen results yet til I see the Oncologist. x
