Aromasin

[karen raines hunt]

HI,

I was also on Tamoxifen for about 1.5 yrs, but the aches and pains were not as bad as with Aromasin. I wish I could say the pains would get better, but just recently mine seem to have gotten worse. I had hot flashes with Tamoxifen and some with Aromasin, but that is not too much of a problem now. I did have a significant decrease in my bone density after 1 yr of Aromasin. Fortunately, my bones were very good to start with, but my oncologist still prescribed a bisphosphonate. I am now taking Boniva once/month.

I have been on Aromasin for3 years now and I have pain in my finger joints, back and foot (off and on). I exercise a lot and that seems to really help. When the pain gets intolerable, I take an Advil.

Hope you feel better soon.

Karen
