Ginagce · 02-11-2006, 10:25 AM

I am now on a one week break from Arimidex at the suggestion of my oncologist to see if my bone/joint/muscle pain is reduced. What went from a cyclical in both frequency and intensity pain has, in the last month, become chronic high intensity pain.

My pain did not start until I started herceptin. I had been on Arimidex for 4 months.

I have also contacted Genentech and am waiting for them to discuss my questions with my oncologist to see if we might find answers there.

Perhaps change of dosing schedule, or, change of AI taken may help.

Will post when I hear back from oncologist.

Unity is Stength. Knowledge is Power. Attitude is Everything.
