Hi Nick.We all react different.
Im 43 like u still have pain from chemo.mine is in my feet,fingers and bones.
I started on an Ai similiar to Femera.Omg- The pain-I was in agony from this drug.Deep bone pain all my other symptoms worsened.They were giving me morphene patches 4 the pain.I decided I needed quality of life not in agony every day.
My oncologist convinced me to try Tamoxifin.Ive been on it now for 3 mnths.Its much more tolerable.I still have pain but nowhere near what i did on the Ai.Ive gained about 5 kgs and my hot flushes have worsened.
Hope this helps.Annie
