Anyone with factor v Leiden/ clotting issues

Hi ladies Was wondering if anyone has a clotting disorder and what hormonal therapy they had. Am supposed to be starting on warfarin and tamoxifen. Then zoladex to shut down ovaries then onto Femara. Was wondering if this was standard treatment and others experiences? After reading some of the posts on hormonal therapies I am now even more worried about the side effects. My onco hasn't mentioned a bone scan but has recommended bone strengtheners. Although the only side effects she mentioned were hot flushes and aching bones. After chemo and rads, this further cocktail of drugs seems too much. Cheers Karen

    Hi Louise Thanks for your reply. Yes the warfarin is to prevent clots. Glad your side effects aren't too bad. Think I am stressing as due to go back to work soon and just beginning to feel better again, with the chemo fog lifting a bit. Though was wearing 2 watches the other day, so not quite back to normal!! Guess will have to suck it up and see what happens! Cheers Karen
