Re: Femara Questions
Hey Sarah,
After reading your history, we are much in the same boat (two tumors, one DCIS and one invasive). My onc, while I like her a lot, is not one for telling me lots of information, and I am one who likes to have lots of information. I read so much about all of this, but it didn't even dawn on me to ask the question as to what tests can be done to determine status of menopause, because I thought it was simply one test done on bloodwork. This is why I love this site so much, because I've found I can learn so much more from others than what I can from my onc.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Hayley
