hopeful case report--letrozole cleared up multiple brain mets

[Hopeful]

Geri,

You can look here for info on Tamoxifen followed by Femara: http://www.pharma.us.novartis.com/pr...e&source=01030

BTW, I recall reading that the brain is one of the largest sources of aromatase production in the body (stands to reason, there is a lot of fatty tissue). This study Lani posted may show that Femara crossed the BBB and inhibits aromatase in the brain - wouldn't that be great?

Hopeful,

Thanks so much for that link, it really helps me with my decision. I'll send it off to my onc and maybe that will trigger a reminder that my results are in and she should call me :-).

Yes, the study Lani posted is very interesting!
