Hi, Femara didn't work for me but Aromasin definately did, it shrunk glands while I was waiting for them to be radiated, it definately stopped the eostrogen because I had to use an eostrogen cream to get an accurate PAP smear, and when I stopped it as a blocker to let the cancer cells grow, most stupid thing I have ever done in my life, as well as it was at the suggestion of my onc who always did what I say, but it was all mentioned on this site that that was not unusual, well the cancer grew and continues to bore its way down my spinal chord, we did not know this one even existed until it had already done damage, I am back on it, the Aromasin and it has shrunk the enlarged small lymps under my arm, or it could be the Gemzar/Taxol/Herceptin which I do not seemed to have had a proper course of yet because of my spinal chord problems, all I know is that it is still growing doing its damage and I am having radiation planning on Thursday and no Hercepin chemo until radiation finished,are they saving money or my strength, I don't have a lot to be positive about at the momentl.

Love & Hugs Lyn
