Breast Cance
"I&#039;ve been taking Femara for a little over 5 months and have yet to experience any side effects whatsoever. I&#039;d been warned about hot flashes, night sweats, joint pain, muscle pain, and so far nothing. I have two smallish tumors in one breast that we caught very early on, and at my 4 month ultrasound they&#039;ve decreased by about 50%. I&#039;ll have a nipple-sparing mastectomy in about 2 weeks with DIEM flap reconstruction...the grossest part of this whole episode in my opinion...followed by radiation. No chemo here, just a very healthy mostly vegetarian diet and tons of walking. I&#039;m 69, 5&#039;6&quot;, 135, and so far consider myself about the luckiest cancer patient anywhere. Maybe I&#039;ll start feeling sick at some point but not yet. Hang in there ladies!!"
