Tamoxifen which involved being referred to a Gynaecology Oncologist and two surgeries  (Tamoxifen induced) I did 3 years.

Femara which caused aches in places that I didn't know could ache, bone pain and sleep deprivation. I did 6 months on this.

Now coming up 6 months on Aromasin

Still got 6 years to go

Why is it the cure seems worse than the cause sometimes?   Shouldn't moan as others are worse off!
