Femara
You have not said why you don't want to take Femara so it's difficult to know how to address your question. I have been taking it for over 5 years and given that I was Stg.IIIb I credit Femara with being alive. I have joint pain, BUT I'm still here with no recurrence. That seems like a wonderful trade off to me. I wish you well in your decison making. Give it some time, you can always decide later.0 -

Thanks for the replies. I don't want to take Femara because of the side effects. I know about joint pain and bone loss and that doesn't scare me but when I read on-line about Femara it listed scarey things like strokes, heart related events. I am pretty healthy except for rheumatiod arthritis and I take methotrexate for that which is a powereful drug. I guess I don't want to add another med.0
