I’m about six years cancer free. I had a bilateral mastectomy with 14 cancerous nodes, rads and chemo, and my onc recommended I continue hormone therapy for another four years for a total of 10. I’ve switched back and forth between letrozole, exemestane and tamoxifen due to side fx. I lasted almost 4 years on tam but last…

This year, instead of waiting for my husband to get home from work so I could collapse into his arms with the…

My bones have suffered a bit but I'm on a bisphosphonate and it's helping. Femara is my mental safety net. I'm afraid to stop. There's not a lot…

Hi It's been a while since I've been on this forum and it's all changed! I hope I'm posting in the right place, Dx'd Feb 2012. Some people may remember me.
