Sadie et al...,
I have been thru A/C,rad,masc,1yr of herceptin. Now, since my cancer has not spread beyond the Positive lymph nodes, my Onc, wants to give me Arimidex.--[I was slightly er+],[pr-]
HOW HAS ARIMIDEX affected YOU ???
My ONC. wants to also give me a dose of Zometa-as my bone density was not so good.
I know it was the first for postmenapausal women,which I am. (52 &was checked)
There is also Femara, which made my sister's bones & jts. ache, so her Onc. changed her to Aromasin.(She was NOT her2++,luckily).
ANYONE ELSE ON ARIMIDEX ??? HOW HAS IT AFFECTED YOU???
