Re: Side effects question
Clint, since the cancer was ERPR+, is she taking an anti-estrogen drug, also (Tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitor)? Those can also cause joint/muscle pain. Has she tried NSAIDs and/or yoga or other stretching exercise? Either (or both) should help a lot with the pain. And the NSAIDs (for example, Celebrex or just ibuprofen) may have their own role against the cancer.
If she is taking an anti-estrogen, and the pain is not improved with these measures, it is worth trying a switch to a different anti-estrogen drug (if she's proven to be permanently post menopausal) -- many get relief that way.
