Great news Pat - congrats!

My wife - a breast cancer survivor - started Femara after her chemo and radiation. Her oncologist switched her to Aromasin after she had a bad reaction to her first Zometa infusion. Seems to have helped as the Zometa (twice a year) hasn't been nearly as tough on her.

Good Luck!

Patricia,
That is great news I I just know it is the first of many to follow!
Sorry I am so late in seeing this, we are in Vermont with children, helping to get them ready to move to FL - only three miles from us

Yes Sara anne..i'm supposed to start Femara very soon..i'm putting it off.....its only been tested for 24 months but seems to be better than Tamoxifin in the studies they've done plus i had a DVT so Tamoxifin is off the board......yet there is still a chance of it but less so with Femara. I wish i didn't know so much about drugs and then i'd just take them and shut up!!
I still have some side effects from the radiation...some of that affected my lungs and i get out of breath easily..not all of the time but enough that i don't want to start something until i resolve this issue.
I know they are suggesting to breast cancer survivors at the 5 yr mark to do another 3 yrs with Femara....but after l4 yrs out i'd have to think about it.
