Aromasin

I am on Xeloda and Aromasin now and the tumor markers are going up.

So we quickly changed from Ibrance/ faslodex to Verzenio/ aromasin. Onc says she is trying to get more time( just 18 months so far) out of the CDK 4-6 class before the rear view window.

Is the Aromasin brand name better than the generics? I have tried anastrozole and letrozole--and anas caused extreme joint pain plus brain fog--and letrozole some tendonitis plus lots of brain fog and anger and paranoia issues. I am hoping the exemestane will be better for both side effects.

On aromasin but didn't work. On fulverstant injections but didn't work. Now on Taxol chemo. Side effects not good but worst is messing with my mind and befuddled. My oncologist said if I cannot stand it she will give me a week off. Has anyone else had good results from Taxol please?

Aromasin. Chemo. And many more. I am now just waiting for my mobility to get worse. I am quite active at the moment but it will change. Mt frightening thing at the moment is that the sores and spots on the same breast of the tumors are painful and getting redder and spreading.

I told him about an Ibrance holiday and he said change to affinitor and aromasin . It hasn’t progressed to any organ but some new bone lesions . My highest marker was about 175 when I first stared. Any thoughts?

I had been on the new meds affinitor and aromasin for a month but stopped it about 3-4 days short due to the way I was feeling. It was affinitor 7.5 mg . For about 5 days my pulse was 40-42 and one morning it was 39 and I started feeling pain in back and side and numbness in my arm.

Letrozol and aromasin failed. Now on fazlodex for 6 weeks. Feel too ill with heart problems to go through chemo as last resort. Is there any hope? Am I being selfish to want to keep living. I don't know anymore.

Just came from M D Anderson with Dr wanting to change meds after progression . I was on Ibrance and letrozole for 3 years. Stage 4 du Novo to bones since 2018. How you ladies doing on this? I’m still thinking ....

Underwent Modified Mastectomy (R. breast & 10 lymph nodes under R. arm removed (username used to be OneLump 21) I'm through with primary treatments & doing maintenance now: started with Aromasin, but after a while, cells showed up in spine (L3 & T5) with a small fracture in L3 (turned out to be a Smorel's

My dr just told me to drop Ibrance and letrozole due to progression in bone on the p e t scan. My tumor markers rose to like 72 ca 27-29. I’m worried about the change -please let me know if anyothers on this. Thanks 🌹

Letrozole failed so now on aromasin but the side effects are horrendous. Get scan results in 2 days. 2 large tumours in breast not shrinking. 1 in armpit painful. 2 on shoulder blade. Had scans etc to see if cancer spreading but feel it has. Feel so ill. Think he will say there is no hope.

Hello sisters, Was wondering if anyone ever had an allergic reaction to exemastane (Aromasin). Or any other estrogen blocker. The under part of my chin and neck looks like I have acne and it’s crazy itchy. Thanks Anna 💗

FYI I'm 5.5 yrs out, HER2 & Estrogen+...on AROMASIN and doing well so far. (Finger's crossed) Did your oncologist recommend which one? Did they leave it up to you? I was told that the clinical trials did not include cancer patients and the participants were healthy.

Due to insurance it was changed to another manufacturer for Aromasin and now I'm having worse side effects. I stopped after 4 days. I heard generics aren't tested as strictly as the original drug.

I am presently taking Aromasin only until I finish my WBRT sessions but will be starting Afinitor 5 mg end of next week. Any advice will be most welcome including what side effects to expect. Many thanks! Maria

Please share your experience on the Piqray and aromasin!

Hi ladies I have had many treatments just to give you a few.Afinitor,anastrazole,faslodex,tamoxifen,herceptin,Ibrance,letrozole,aromasin,exemestane, and my last one I'm on is vinorelbine..

I have been on Ibrance / Aromasin for a year (challenges with major mouthsores so only half dosage) however my markers are up 30 points. Now Affinitor/Aromasin, can anyone share?

I'm suspecting it's the aromasin. He told me yo stop for about 2 weeks..if it improves it's the aromasin. He might switch me to tamoxifen. I'm 4 years out.. Has anyone else had problems w yr hands? Joints n fingers? Please share your experience. Thank you ladies!
