I had a real ' No f*"#@&%g way' moment with the Zolodex.
I was not quite menopausal and the aromatase inhibitors look like my best chance of survival but the idea of chemo and rads then monthly pellets in my belly fat for at least a year and having to have someone peering and jabbing every month and more waiting in waiting rooms and ..... I had my ovaries out instead. Sorted.
I've been taking Femara for 3 months now. Chemo really screwed me over and I ended up with myalgia in both legs. Now lymphoedema in one foob but the leg pain is easing. I thought Femara would make things worse, but I can honestly say it hasn't. Yes, I've been dumped into full menopause (the last step was a doozy) but that's sorting itself out and would have happened in time anyway.
I was on Tamoxifen for 5 years but had a recurrence after 10 so yes, it can come back anyway. We can only do the best we can. Marg xxx
