Re: Kvetching
Laurel,
I just started on the Femara in October, and having never been one that needed to take meds, its been quite a challenge to incorporate it into my daily routine so that I don't forget! I am hopeful that with time, it will become just part of my routine, and I won't have to think about it, I will just do it. Anyway, my onc told me when I started that I would need to take this for five years, but to be prepared to take it for 10 because of the studies that are currently being done. Uuuugghhh!!
Happy new year to my entire HER2 family!!!
Hayley
