For Breast Cancer, Metastatic: I'm currently on faslodex/Letrozole for 18 months. Prior to faslodex I was on Ibrance 33 months before I had progression. I have joint pain, nausea, night sweats etc. Usually 2 weeks a month I'm totally fatigued. My good days are great! I have scans this week & hope that the disease is stable. I have mets to lungs,& bones. Thriving 4 yrs 3 mo & feel I'm doing well @ 67! |

For Breast Cancer, Metastatic: For 8 months I had injections in my butt every 28 days it did lower my estrogen . After stopping because of chronic injection pain they tried injection in the thigh. It’s been four months since last butt shots and 3 months since thigh shot. The pain is still there and very hard sometimes, I really believe nerve damage is cause, I’ve been back on letrozole for 2 months but still experience the chronic sporadic burning, numbing butt and thighs . Besides that it made me smell of burnt motor oil. Drs brush it off and say “ oh I’ve never heard that before”
