Re: Life After Femara??
Lois,
I have the same feet problem, it seems to have moved from knees to my feet since I have finished herceptin. I saw my oncologist last week and she said it was most likely from the femara. I have also gained weight which I hate since I have never had a weight problem and she said also most likely the femara. (only a few pounds)Small price to keep the cancer away but I will be ready after 5 years to get things hopefully back to normal. At least we are alive and well. I recently met a lady on a trial study for femara, she doesn't know yet if she is getting it yet or not but she said that she has terrible hot flashes that she didn't have before. Time will tell.
