Do you take anti-hormonals at night?
Hello,
My onc told me to take Femara at night so as to have less side effects or be less disturbed by them, so I did. I did have many of the side effects you mention plus the most worrying for me was bone loss. I was then given Clastoban which improved my bone density.
Personally I was so scared having invasive cancer that I immediately bought several plastic bottles with the days on them so as to be sure I didn't become confused and I certainly didn't want to miss taking any.
It does seem weird that we all take the same pill regardless of what size we are.
I found the hot flashes easier to deal with at night and the hand and foot pain also. The lack of estrogen is a big thing and I know some people went on a mild anti-depressant to combat wild mood swings and some used various vaginal creams for dryness.
Cancer definitely isn't for sissies and I am in awe and inspired by so many of you in the wonderful attitude you maintain all through this struggle.
Again, I wish to express my gratitude for this wonderful site.
Health and Happiness
Sarah
