Re: Hair
hi Stillhere,
Thanks for finding this photo of you! You look so happy in that photo and your hair is way longer than mine.
I was reading your dx and saw that you quit Arimidex too. Can you share with me why? I stopped after 3 weeks because of nausea. My former onc said she had given Arimidex to 'hundreds of women and none complained of nausea'......yeah? It is listed as one of the common side effects.
Anyway just wondered what your reasons were for stopping it, and how also are you feeling on Femara? Do you have to watch for osteoporosis?
