Welcome, pplsha
Glad to have you, welcome. We're all survivors, some caregivers, who support and encourage each other.
I take Arimidex, so can't specifically address your question. I'm sure others who can will eventually respond.0 -

You are doing it right. This is a discussion board, but we also have a chatroom, I believe. People will see your question here and respond. It may not be as quick as a chatroom, but you will get plenty of "hits." I am not hormone receptor positive, so I'm not on any medication. But the majority of the women here are. Good luck.

Welcome!
Ihave been on
Welcome!
Ihave been on Femara for two months. So far, only mild side effects, mainly hot flashes and insomnia. I can actually see it working, though, so those heat moments are not bothering me. I went on femara after tamox when I had my primary cancer but quit after a year. Wish I would have stayed the course: my cancer came back four years later. I think the femara stayed in my system and protected me for those four years. This time, I will do the full course! Have you started taking it yet? Have you experienced any side effects?0 -
i am on Femara
I have been taking Femara for about 1 month. My doc warned that the menopause symptoms would get worse. So far only the night sweats are worse.
does anyone know if abdominal cramps are one of the side effects (just like period cramps).
The one side effect I have that probably no one else will get because it is the opposite of what they warn against is diahrea (bad spelling) instead of constipation.
I have also had headaches but that could be stress from going back to work.
I plan on sticking out any side effects because I have no intention of doing this cancer thing ever again.
Let me know how it goes for you.

I've been taking Femara since August 1st this year. Side effects have been increased hot flashes...both more frequent and more intense...but nothing I cannot handle. So far, it has not affected my sleep, and my "plumbing" is working just fine too. Doctor is concerned that it will weaken my bones, so I also am getting a Zometa treatment once a month. I hope you do well with it. Hugs. Gracie0
