Raloxifen anyone?

[jille]

Hi.  My Oncologist is starting me on Raloxifen, aka Evista.  I am premenopausal, and received a mastectomy  weeks ago due to DCIS.  Anyone w/ a similar case using this stuff?  Thx.

I have been to that site and others but haven't had luck finding others that are premenopausal on Evista.  There are many that are post.  I probably will go ahead ahead and take it
as I can't really fnd any big reasons not to other than lack of official clinical trials.  It sure would be nice to find someone in my shoes however.

Did your girls check out the site I recommended? It would be very helpful.

Hi I too am premenopausal,41 and recently had a mastectectomy 12-12-06 for dcis.  My Oncologogist has given me a script for evista as well.  I haven't started it yet but plan to in the near future.  I haven't found anyone else else that is taking it that is premenopausal have you?  I know the side ffects are suppose to be more tolerable than with tamoxifen and the results similar.

I know allot of girls on the breastcancer.org site (discussion boards) are on this type of med. Maybe you could post there. Hope this helps.
