I have been on Femera for 6 months after 4 years of Tamoxifin. I am experiencing joint pain and now thinning hair. Does anyone know if hair returns to normal once the Femera protocol is finished. Thanks you so much, Luckyj

    Hi Luckyi,

    I just started on Femera in October. So far, I have not noticed hair lost. I was wondering if that is one of the side effects. I will have to look into it. As far as joint pain, I have not had that side effect either. The pain I have is due to arthritis and sometimes the bone cancer will flair. I don't personally know many people who are taking Femera so when I saw your post it definitely sparked my interest.

    Thanks

    Hi Luckyj, I was in Tamoxiphen for 4/12 years started on Femara in May has not experienced any hair loss or bone pain as of yet. For some strange reason my hair grows extremely fast. I guess Iam one of the lucky ones for at least that part of this illness. livin
