Hi Donna, many of my stage iv friends have had success with Faslodex but do think you need an Onc rather than a regular MD for your cancer care!!!

I was five years on arimidex last year and wondered if anyone else who stayed on arimidex noticed the joint pain getting worse??? sadly there's no looking this up or googling it as we're the first to try this!
