I decided that a switch from Arimidex to Femara is the first thing on my agenda. My Onc agreed with me. Therefore, the switch took place yesterday. I hope in a few weeks, I would be able to feel better. As for bone scan, I did the test only three month ago and the result was negative. Since cancer is not an overnight development, one would expect that the scan would have shown some lesion if the mets is the culprit. Thank all of you who have kindly replied my question.
