Help! REally bad headaches and nausea on Faslodex!

[fcrcm]

I've been on Herceptin, Zomeda and Arimidex for almost a year. However, after my scans "worsened" last month (showing increase in bone mets and that one of the tumors in my liver was "lighting up) my onc. switched me from Arimidex to Faslodex. I'm finding it difficult. I have woken with incredible burning headaches, so bad that even my lips hurt. Also, I seem to have low grade nausea all the time. I am struggling just to get through the day. When I mentioned it to onc. at last visit he said "well, Faslodex does go through the brain."

I'm really disappointed because I was doing great before this change -- tho obviously Arimidex wasn't doing its job, what with the progression of disease. Also, I know that soon enough I will have some new chemo added to my regimen.

Does anyone out there, dear Her2Nu sisters, have any suggestions for me? I do not want to spend what time I have left feeling rotten. Is there no choice. (So sorry, but I am in a pretty bad mood). Please help.
