Hi:

I've been on Faslodex injections since Dec 05. It's a shot in the butt, every 4 weeks, for 5 years. I was premenopausal before chemo (I'm 46) but since I finished chemo, (Sept 05) I've only had 2 periods. My onco feels faslodex works better with HER2+ than tamoxifen. I did have another period last month, I started to feel crampy last week, so I think I"m still ovulating. He's monitering my hormones every month. I don't have any side effects from the shots. I'm on herceptin every 3 weeks and I do feel achy and sore muscles, but I think that's from the herceptin, not the faslodex (but who knows?) If you have any questions, let me know
