| 1 | Stage 2 breast cancer | knee hip and joint pain, sleeplessness, general lessening of quality of life, HOT FLASHES | Thanks to an excellent and listening oncologist, I was switched to Tamoxifen when I told her I was on the verge of choosing no meds rather than continue with Femara. It was a new lease on life. Tamoxifen comes with some of its own side effects (some hot flashes), but I walk and kayak and laugh on a daily basis, and love life again. This may not be the answer for everyone, but it's worth asking your onco to see about the possibility of a positive change. Femara is the pits, and I am sorry for anyone subjected to its tough effects. Good luck to us all in the fight. | F | 54 | 2.5 1X D | 11/23/2015 | |
