Hi Maggs - Have not had any trigger finger issues and was on Femara for 11 months. The onc also gave me Bondronat to help with the bone issues but still have aches and pains for which I use Panadol Osteo.
Have just finished Femara as it was no longer effective in fighting the cancer and blood work was showing no improvement. As to hot flushes, perhaps I have been post menopausal long enough that it was not an issue with the Femara, but had non. Now on Aromasin and have notice the occasional hot flush but nothing that is too hard to handle. My problem is usually being too cool and having to rug up - even on warmer days. There are many drugs out there and it is a bit of a trial to find the right combination and ones that are doing the job for you.
Best wishes and keep persevering - sorry about the surgeries and visits to hospital.
Cheers
Jaci
