Hi there Glenis,
I am glad you found the site!!
Im sorry to hear you are having a bad time with Femara. So far I have been taking it a month. I have had hand tingles and water retention& headaches.. I spoke to my Onc and he suggested to see how I go for another mth, then if Im not happy he will try me on Tamoxifen. mmmm at least he listens to me!! more than yours does! I would be asking to see another Onc and get another opinion .... Au has had Femara for approx 5 yrs I believe.
I hope apart from this, you are doing ok? I still have good and bad. My hair has started to grow back, but is very patchy and thin..... I had lovely thick hair....:(
Good luck to you... and please keep in touch theres so many of us out there....
