cancer drug side effects

I have taken three drugs so far. arimidex,I had severe spinal pain,femara, I had severe itching so bad that I bruised where I scratched.  Now with Aromascin I have trouble breathing and have to use an inhaler.  Are there people that can't tolerate these drugs?  Is there any drug that do/esn't cause  all these side effects.

Dear si si:  The pain that you mention occurs frequently with arimidex.  However, the itching that you describe with femara is not a common side effect.  Both femara and aromasin can, uncommonly cause shortness of breath.  You might discuss these drugs with an oncologist who has an interest in breast cancer to see what options would be best in light of your experience with these medications.

Actually, all the medicated products offer side effects. In contrast with herbal, the recovery time of medicated products is very fast. But, on the other hand the herbs doesn't claim any type of side effects. It is estimated that 192,200 women and 1,500 men in the United States will be diagnosed with Breast cancer in 2001. Though rare in men, Breast cancer accounts for 31% of all cancer diagnosed in women. Breast cancer is a disease in which cancer cells are found in Breast tissue.
Cancer that starts in the breast. How rapidly it grows, whether it will spread (metastasize) or not, and what the outcome will be varies, depending on many factors, including the type of cancer, where it begins, how soon it was detected, whether it is estrogen-receptor positive or negative, and whether it responds to the type of treatment chosen. Some of the factors that contribute to the course of breast cancer are still unknown, but one area that is under study is the effect of diet.
