You go girl! Well done. Like you, I too give my doctors a written list of questions and hand to them when I sit down. It helps us both. He knows what is really concerning me and can address those concerns before we start and I have a clear head not thinking about what concerns me. We all have to be vigilant about our treatments. I will relay this one experience to you I had after chemo and rads when I was put on Aramatose Inhibitors as part of my treatment as the carcinoma was estrogen positive. I developed a severe infection in my breast and had constant Urinary Tract Infections. At the same time I developed a rash over my body from rib cage to knees. It resembled molten lava, my skin hardened and the itch near drove me crazy. No treatment relieved it. I didn't sleep for a week. My Specialist put me in hospital to try and clear the infections but kept trying different antibiotics thinking the rash was allergic reaction to antibiotics. I eventually said to my husband the only thing I can think of in the past few weeks that has changed is I have been put on this drug Femera (Letrozole). My husband went home and googled the drug and the side effects of severe allergy is exactly what I had been experiencing. I immediately ceased the drug and the infections cleared up and the rash disappeared. I bet there are a thousand stories on this site....
