    I have bone mets too many to count.  Has anyone had mets move to the intestinal track?  I am having terrible constipation problems and you know we just naturally think C.

    Bone mets, only in sacrum. Originally dx Stage III Nov 08, just recently "promoted".

    Bettye, what's your treatment plan? I'm only on Femara for a few days but already it's stopping me up.

    Leah,

    I was diagnosed with ILC 2006.  I took Femara for 3 months to shrink the tumor.  My onc did not think I had a good response.  I had mast , chemo FEC, radiation, then I took Tamoxifen until March of 2010.  I had reconstruction in Feb. the bone mets were found on the CTA I had before the surgery.  I did  not have the diagnois until March.  I am now taking Aromasin and Zometa.  I had no SEs from the Femara or the Tamoxifen, but this Aromasin is kicking my butt.  I hurt all over.  I feel like I am 100 years old.  I hope it is from the Aromasin because if it is cancer I am done for.  I have started walking (advise from this site).  I am doing a lot better.  Thank you everyone who contributes to this site.  I am so thankful for the women who take the time to respond on this thread and all other. 

    Good luck with your treatment.  I will be looking for your posts.

    Bettye,

    I also took Fermara for 3 years, and was switched to Aromasin and it also kicked by butt.  I hurt all over.  I took that for a year and was just switched to Xeloda which is actually an oral chemo...I have never felt greater....been on this for 3 months now....2 weeks on and 2 weeks off.  Within 2 days not taking Aromasin....I noticed a hugh difference...not aches or pains.  Something you may want to consider.

    I have mets to the spine, one rib and sternum nodes.  Have been on chemo for 1 1/2 years and was in remission for less than 6 mos. but was still on maintainence chemo.  Since then I have been on several chemos none of which have worked.  I am now on taxol by my request as I responded well to it my first cancer go round and since testing HER+ have added Herceptin hoping that is the smoking gun.  I have a pet/ct scan in a week and a half but don't think it will show anything showing the Herceptin is working as I have only had 3 txs. of it so far...will be 5 by the time of the scans.  Of course the taxol has been ongoing for 3 mos. and we will see if that has helped.
