Hi Girls, I'm still not confident in this type of discussion, but really good to hear all your opinions. I saw the hospital to see if I could stop Femara and try another. I could sort of put up with the hand/wrist pain, stabbing headaches, Hot flushes (especially the night ones, wet pillow and sheets). Taking Panadol Osteo helped marginally. The Surgeon didn't bother attending, a had a beginner doctor who knew very little, but called the breast nurse in so he to check my breasts (man-handle, more like it). At least the Breast nurse knew what I was talking about. She saw the state of my knee when I tried to walk. She suggested I stop Femara for a month, then return to outpatients again, and maybe start on Arimadex. I too question the need to take these drugs and hope I get to see a more experienced doc next time. My GP is lovely and trys to help but she believes the cancer experts should make decision. Thanks again ladies. Best of luck to you all. Cherry.
