Johana,

I mentioned in a previous reply that I did not know if Femara was able to cross the blood brain barrier. Well, I checked with Novartis,the drug manufacturer, & they told me that it does penetrate the brain & spreads as easily as in other parts of the body.
They are aware of a few cases where it appeared to be beneficial against brain cancer but there is no clinical data to prove it scientifically.
But who cares if it works for you in addition to the other drugs in your regimen!
