Re: Liver Resection Pathology
Good news that your surgery went well. Its time to add another easy drug to the arsenal. I was on Tamoxifen for awhile but I have been on Arimidex almost 9 years now and no problems. If you do have too much joint pain, that usually subsides if you switch to Femara or Aromosin. Ask about Faslodex too. This is injected monthly but the drug actually degrades the ER receptor so estrogen has nothing to bind to. Just a thought since you are eligible because of your Stage 4 status. I know we'll here more from you but good news on the ER status because now you have mountains of new weapons to use.
Continue to heal and rest.
Love and hugs from me.
