For Breast Cancer, Adjuvant "Bone pain, trigger fingers, joint pain, hip pain, wrists/thumbs repeated tendonitis, low energy. From anastrozole to letrozole, issues persist, worse over time. Still on it, but had to stop working. Managing to stay on as benefit outweighs risk."

For Breast Cancer "Took Femara for 2 years+. Just saw my oncologist recently, and she asked about the joint pain. It has been awful, my joint and muscle pain is excruciating sometimes. I am a young 61 who felt 85. No more snow skiing. Could barely get out of bed many days. My oncologist suggested I take a week off of it, and if it improved the pain, she would prescribe Aromasin. Sure enough, pain all gone, and now I have been on Aromasin a week. Fingers crossed!"

For Breast Cancer, Adjuvant "I have been on Femara for five years now. I have had some side effects like dizziness and slight joint pain. All in all, if it keeps breast cancer away, I am happy to take the medication."
