Question Femara?

I haven't been real happy with any of my treatment...even had to switch oncologist. But I sure have learned to double check everything before taking their word for anything.

I am getting close to being done with my chemo...will have PET/CT scan next week to see if its helped? But my oncologist mentioned putting me on Femara? I just looked it up because NOBODY down there tells me anything...no matter how many times I ask.

Its late tonight...but everything I read on it was for EARLY stage breast cancer people. I am stage IIIA with node involvment. Her2/neu 3+++. So I do NOT consider me early stage?

Plus it said its NOT for people doing radiation. When I am done with my chemo...I am suppose to do radition for 6 weeks. So why is she telling me I will be put on Femara when I am done with chemo?

One more thing I am concerned about. I have serious scoliosis. (Bad curvature of the spine) Congential. I read Femara is worse on the bones then other drugs. Anyone here know anything about Femara? Or can guide me in a direction to research it a little better?

All I kept seeing is "Early stage" breast cancer...I am NOT early stage my any means. I am lost on this one.
