Started taking Arimidex 23rdJuly 2010, one week later I started getting severe bone pain in my legs, arms and shoulders.I went to my specialist yesterday and he has taken me off Arimidex for 2weeks and wants to put me on Tamoxifen but now I'm worried I might get the bone pain with it also. My illness is breast cancer grade 3, 5/18 positive nodes.Thank you itsmetoo2 for your comment it is helpful.
I am wondering. If the bone has a problem maybe a marrow transplant just might be the answer. Has your doctor talked to you about what is happening. I am also wondering if a person that had been through the Tamoxfin five year protocol for bilateral atypical cancer cells, which has prevented atypical cells from changing, could they be a better bone marrow transplant?
Tamoxfin prevents Cancer from spreading. So this is a great thing.
We are afraid of the unknown; and what you have said it sounds like to me your doctor is doing everything to know what is going on, for that is good. Ask questions, then ask more questions.For this you will succeed...
Take Care and keep me informed.
Thank you itsmetoo2, every bit of information does help especially when it's put in "laymons"terms.
Ask about biopsy of the bone to see if the Cancer has traveled.
