Hi Kerri,
I too was diagnosed with multiple mets from the start (Oct 2010). Primary BC with mets in spine, rib, pelvis. I was given femara and had 5 doses of radiation to the spine. All seemed to be going well until mets started pressing on the sciatic nerve. Another 5 doses of radiation followed which eased the pain. I'm now taking tamoxifin. No chemo as yet. I was working full-time but haven't worked all of this year as I have no energy. Since starting the tamoxifin I've been feeling very down. Waiting on results of recent scans to see where things are at. I also have zometa once a month and like you, am new to this group. I agree with Heather - there's good days and bad - and on those days you want to stay in bed - do! Sorry - I'm no help to your question re femara / arimidex - however I had no problems at all whilst taking the femara - if anything, I had much more energy than I do now.
