Stage 1 breast cancer 1 Year, 1 Month ago

Sex: F
Age: 50.0
Side effects: I had bone pain/joint stiffness which was almost disabling, hot flashes, hair loss, depresssion, fatigue, loss of appetite, insomnia, mental confusion, & loss of strength in my entire body, and constipation. I stopped taking the medication 4 wks ago and am very slowly seeing the side effects improve. My doctor tells me it takes 8 wks for Femara to get out of your system entirely. I felt very guilty and scared stopping the medication, but I had no quality of life. I will never take this medication again.
Time taken and dosage: 3 months 1X D

Side effects: I'm doing fine with the Femara. The only side effect I have noticed is the hot flashes. They are frequent but brief in length.
Time taken and dosage: 2 months 1X D
Review: I am also on a modified anti-inflammation diet and an anti-oxidant cocktail. I was fortunate in that I had invasive lobular cancer that was found from having a breast reduction. I have had a double mastecomy, follwed by the Femara and diet.

Breast cancer 1 Year, 1 Month ago

Sex: F
Age: 47.0
Side effects: Femara gave me extreme joint pain. I could hardly walk. I felt like I was 90 and I was only 46. The great news is that when I quit taking Femara, I was feeling back to normal within a month.
Time taken and dosage: 6 monthsusual 1X D
Review: I had double mastectomy, chemo, radiation and 5 years on tamoxifen. My goal was to do everything I can to keep cancer away. I took Femara for six miserable months. If you are taking Femara for prevention of recurrence and you are not able to even walk without pain, quit Femara! It was the best decision I have made. Be sure to have your vitamn D levels checked. My vitamin D levels had been depleted (by Femara) which contributed to bone/joint pain. Good luck!
