Have been following comments about side effects of Femara. I have been on this drug for almost 12 months. The oncologist also prescribed another drug Bondronat (an bisphosponate) which is used to couter-act the effects of the Femara. Still have some bone aches and pains, but part of that is of course the cancer in the bones being secondaries. When asked straight out the oncologist advised that the Bondronat is used to temper or counter the effects of the Femara. Ask your doctor about this. I got the impression from the doctor and the breast care nurse that these two ususally went together. Bondronat can be taken daily as a tablet or via infusion from what I read. Hope this is useful information to some of you.
