Breast Cance
"I had stage 2 breast cancer in 2004 took tamoxifen for 5 years and was then moved to femara.  I have had significant bone and muscle pain; weight gain; severe hot flashes/night sweats; and brain fog, forgetfulness; however my 5 years of femara will end in June 2015 however I was under the impression that I would be taken off of this medication; however I have seen many post that show individuals on this medication for 8, 9 or more years.  I am not sure what my oncologist has in mind for me.  I was 46 when I found out and have had both breast removed and completed 5 months of chemo but I am still concerned to be without any medications for fear of my cancer returning."
