Chelee,
I have been on Femara for 4 years now. When I had recurrence to my liver in 2001, a review of my original pathology reports, indicated that even though I was originally diagnosed as ER-, I was actually very slightly postitive (less than 10%) and a specialist at UCSF said that going on Femara couldn't hurt. Because I believe in hitting this disease from every possible angle, I agreed. I have bone density tests to monitor things and stay active physically, with lots of weight bearing exercises.
I didn't realize that even though my ovaries were fried back in 1997 when I had my stem cell procedure there are other tissues in the body that produce estrogen. So if the Femara keeps any estrogen from feeding my cancer, it's worth it to me.
Hope this helps, Kim in CA
