I see you changed from Arimidex to Femara. I am really having problems
with aches and pains on Arimidex, 10th month. I asked my oncologist about Femara and she said its the same as Arimidex. I think I still
would llike to try it. She suggested Aromasin? I am also on Herceptin
and I think this is contributing to the problem.
