Experiences with

Aromasin

Has anyone had an allergic reaction to Aromasin? My dr thought it was Afinitor that I was allergic to. I started Aromasin again. 5 days later I had a rash all over and my arms and legs are swelled with Lymphodema. It’s really awful. Any suggestions for the rash or Lymphodema.

My oncologist here in Cyprus wants to change my meds to aromasin and avintor and to have a CT and an MRI but I've just had a PET scan? Then go straight to TARE radio embolisation which is hugely expensive.

Now I take Aromasin and Afinitor. Few people seem to be on these meds. Aren’t there newer ones? Please tell me what meds you’re taking for bone and liver Mets. ER+.

I also take Aromasin

I was just prescribed Aromasin and Affinitor. Has anyone taken these drugs? Any comments or advice? Will I lose more or all hair?

Hello, I will be starting Afinitor and Aromasin this weekend. I hope those of you on this regimen can help me b sharing your experiences. I am starting on 5mg for afinitor because my MO wants to observe if there are any side effects I can’t handle.

I was wondering if anyone on efinitor and Aromasin ended up with high blood sugar. I’ve been on this treatment for 6 mos now and the Dr noticed my glucose rising, he said it couid be a side effect of the drugs I’m on. I have to be monitored by my GP.

I'm hoping to swap to another option, one I'd not heard of - Aromasin, also called EXEMESTANE - as the Tamoxifen made my white blood cells plummet to a bad degree and I had no energy at all so had to come off it. If any of you are on the Aromasin, please let me know how you find/found it?

Not sure if I go with a parp since I have brca 2 mutation or xeloda or afinitor plus aromasin? Do I go for a trial? Would love opinions or med combos that have worked with those of you with lobular. Thanks! ❤️ Mandy

he discussed my symptoms snd reviewed the PET and charted a course- which includes adding Lupron due to Higher than expected FSH ( follicle stimulating hormone levels which has to do with menopause status) but otherwise staying the course with Verzenio plus aromasin.

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.

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

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.

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.

My doctor agreed I could start on Exemestane (Aromasin) and add Everolimus (Afinitor) when I came home. So, after another fright when it looked like strikes in Reykjavik might cause cancellation, we did actually make it!

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

The second situation is that because of having a problematic degree of AIMSS (Aromasin Induced musculoskeletal symptoms) I can not longer take the medication. I also am unable to take biosphonate infusions for the developed ostopenia because of ongoing dental/jaw conditions.

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.

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?
