Re: embolism in lung due to femara?
Hi Sarah,
I'm sorry for your friend and didn't realize this was a side effect, I've taken the sister drug Arimidex for seven years now and plan to continue but your post made me think twice and will be interested in reading more replies on this.
I'm interested because my hubby and I quit smoking eighteen months ago but lately I've felt very short of breath which I thought was unusual and put it down to some weight I had gained recently, do you know what symptoms your friend had??
Sending good wishes to her and hope she's feeling better very soon.
