Re: Femara
Jean I stopped at two years ago after eight years on the advice of my Onc, she recently wanted me to start again for another two years due a recent study showing ten years would be more beneficial. I must have been so used to the pain in those eight years that I didn't notice it anymore but since I started taking it again I'm in a lot of pain, mostly on waking when it hurts to just get out of bed! I'll continue for now and hope it gets easier but interested in Donocco's reply to you so may look into my Vit D intake.
