Faslodex/Fulvestrant

Hi @lesleyb, I was started on Fulvestrant today & as far as I know I have it on compassionate grounds.  I admit today was a blur as I was told my latest scans showed that the current meds were no longer controlling my lung mets & Fulvestrant is the next course before chemo.  As I live in a rural area, they were unsure if it was available straight away, but was, so was given the injections.  As it requires a loading dose, I will be back in a fortnight, so will have a better idea of costs.
I'm not looking forward to the side effects, the same as other hormone treatments.
Good luck.  Cancer is such an expensive disease!!
