My oncologist told me oral faslodex is in clinical trial and right around the corner to be approved. That would be a great thing!! Let’s hope it’s soon.

Yes that would be great, rather than the large monthly dose. Are you in the USA?

That is good news. I'm thinking everyone on it would rather take a pill than a shot. Also, I have read that the shots cause some pain, so a pill definitely would be better.

The shots can cause scar tissue also

That does not sound good either.

When I was on Faslodex, I kinda enjoyed not having to take a daily pill that reminded me that I have mbc! I got to know a couple of the nurses at the cancer center much better during the 9 plus years I was on Faslodex and they were great sources of info for me.

My Onc at Duke told me the same thing. No shots!!! That’s huge!

I get both of my shots at the same time which helps but the site pain lasts for several days. Can’t wait for the pills.
