Femara
Its now 4 yrs on since being diagnosed with breast cancer and still awaiting bilateral reconstruction. I'm just wondering if there's anyone else out there likI me.
The last week has probably been o...
Hi, i too am at wits end, so dont feel like you are whining. I also feel like i am wearing a body of a 80yr old and i didnt even have chemo to trigger the effects. I dont know if it is the Tomoxifen or Zoladex or radiation or just life?. Up until recently my bones were mainly aching in my feet & legs, now the pain has gone into my hips and lower left side of my back, enough that i struggle to get out of bed or off the lounge. It only lasts 5 mins or so as walking seems to ease the pain. Seriously I am curled over so much i would put my 97yr old grandmother to shame. I know its not arthritic pain but could it really be side effects from the medication? I am booking a appointment with Doctors next week as something is going on with my body and i don't like it. I am only a couple of years older than you and i really feel i am on my way out. Did you go on Tamoxifen and Zoladex to start with? and how long was it before they put you on Femara?........Femara sounds just as bad as Tamoxifen. I was never sick before i had cancer. Hope you can find some relief with your pain soon as four years is pushing it don't you think. I'm still under my first 12 mths .
Good luck and cheers Jo xx
