Arimidex
Further to my last post about Arimidex, does anyone have sore knees, fingers etc. I feel 10 years older at the moment.
I have a bone density test in September and that will be interesting.

Hi Denise
I was diagnosed May last year when I was 59. My case is a bit strange, had a mammogram at breastscreen May 2010 all clear after getting a call back for an ultrasound ( obviously it wasn't clear). Started seeing a new GP in April last year and as standard practice she sent me for a mammogram, ultrasound, blood tests etc just because that's what she does, even though I had a clear mammogram 10 months before. Enlarged lymph nodes showed up under my arm in mammogram and ultrasound and after biopsies etc they came back positive for lobular cancer. No primary was ever found, so I had axilliary clearance with 8 out of 13 lymph nodes positive. I didn't have a mastectomy because there was no tumour. I had 4 lots of AC chemo then 12 Taxol and then 25 radiotherapy. Now arimidex and soon bisphosphonates. Also seeing a gyno oncologist tomorrow because I will be having my ovaries out as my mother had ovarian cancer, but there is no breast cancer in the family.
