Hi

Hi Tracey

I've been on Femara as well since 28 March, 2 days after they took my ovaries out. Yes my joints are sore too! Especially my hands and feet. It's hard to say if it's swelling or the actual joints or a combination of both. I am generally stiff everywhere else but put that down to inactivity over the last 9 months. I find it is worst first thing in the morning and at night. I will discuss it with my doctor when I see her next week.

I was expecting bad menopause symptoms as my ovaries are gone, but aside from some rather mild (by my reckoning) hot flushes I haven't noticed anything else major. My husband may think I have mood swings but I think he's imagining things!

It is good having hair back again and not having to wear a scarf or cap. Mine is thickly covering all my scalp and I just look like I've got a really short hair do with no fringe. Though my hair has come back brunette and I was previously blonde, though getting darker over the years. I feel like I see a different woman in the mirror!

Are you having radiation?

Here's to you feeling great soon!

Cheers Helen
