hormone rx post chemo rad
Hi, thanks for the site. I am a 48 yr old female infiltrating ductal grade 2 ER/PR pos Her-2/neg oncotype 24 diagnosed March 2010. I completed chemo and radiation, currently taking femara. I have so much joint pain and stiffness my activities including work are very difficult. I am seriously contemplating stopping the femara. What are your feelings about this? I know the importance of the drug but am really having a hard time. I have tried altering the time I take the drug and nsaids and still not happy at all.
