Hi everyone
i started Femara in June 2015 and whilst the first three months was fine it all went downhill after that. With the constant aches and bone pain I felt like an 80 yr old crone. I persevered until May 2016 when my onc said enough. I am now on Arimidex and the improvement in everything is priceless. Mr onc said whilst Femara and Arimidex are basically the same there is a slight difference in the chemicals and for some reason he cannot explain switching from one to another can make a big difference to some women . Whilst I do have a few aches and pains, it is nothing I cannot cope with and perhaps I will last the next 8 years on this medication.
cheers
