Breast pain
I am now on Ibrance and
Femara
. I also had 16 lymph nodes removed on the side which had the cancer. Is it common to experience breast pain and what causes it? Just had a PET scan with good results. Thanks in advance for your comments!

Day 5 stims scan - someone rein my brain in please! 😩😥
Hey lovelies. I went for my Day 5 (short protocol) scan today and my head is a bit all over the place. I’m a low AMHer so knew my numbers wouldn’t be great but so far only have 4 follicles (left, none on right) and they are quite small (6-9mm). Waiting on blood test results to find out if they intend

Letrozole (Femara} vs Arimidex
Hi Ladies. I hear the daffodils in Scotland are peeking through so we have Spring to look forward to. No sign of them here in Wa State but maybe I’ve just missed them. A little history is that I had a double mastectomy in 2007 with reconstruction for invasive BC. Chemo wasn’t suggested and I declined

We are trying naturally and another package of maybe

Decreasing AMH levels leaving me very anxious
I started taking DHEA in September and have just embarked on a new cycle with low level stimulus, so far taking
femara
2.5mg for 7 days and pergoveris 150 iu x 3. I just received results of my latest bloods and AMH has dropped even lower than my last cycle at 1.51pmol/l (0.2 ng/ml).

BRCA TEST RESULT
Oncotype dx report suggested no chemo so on
femara
2.5mg one tablet daily for minimum 5 yrs. I was offered mastectomy in Feb 20, and after that on
femara
once daily. So far so good. I am 54 yrs old female with no biological children of my own. Hence I was advised to take BRCA test done.

Letrozole or DHEA?
I’m awaiting my third and final IVF cycle. I wanted to take supplements for a full three months before my last IVF cycle to say I had given it my all. I’ve done a full 2 months now taking the supplements in the book it starts with the egg. I took DHEA for around 4 weeks, only 25mg daily and it delayed

Recent PET SCAN results
I have been feeling good being on Ibrance and
Femara
. Have only had two small bone mets so far until my recent PET SCAN. Showed a small area on my small intestine that I was told by my medical oncologist that it is unrelated to the breast cancer.

Treatment for invasive lobular breast cancer
I am on
femara
2.5mg daily for 5 years as of now. No chemotherapy given as oncotype dx score was 9. Right mastectomy done. No radiation given as no lymph nodes were involved and margins after surgery were clear of tumour infiltration. Do I need any other treatment?

My Update
Started with Avastin,
Femara
. 2 years in, near death, removed the Avastin. Stayed on
Femara
. I was getting scans every 9 weeks. My last scans were July 13, 2013. My body recovered from Avastin in about 2 years. I see my oncologist approx every 6 months. My tumor markers have been rising.

Letrozole/Femara V Anastrozole
But i have Either Osteoporosis, or Carpal Tunnel/Trigger thumbs, which may or may not be cause by
Femara
. Has anyone else had this problem? At first it was jus my right hand that hurt a bit at the thumb joint near the palm soft pad. Then it went to the joint nearer the nail.

Femara (Letrozole)
Anyone taking
Femara
(Letrozole) for fertility? Does it delay your period? My two apps are showing different period start dates. One yesterday and the other due on Saturday.

Panicking - have I been taking the wrong supplements?
So I just realised I was taking Coq10 600 mg but the Ubiquinone rather than the Ubiquinol. I could kick myself for this mistake! Does this matter? I am already on Stims and I am now freaking out. Does it matter? What’s the difference?

Chemotherapy again!!! 😜😕🙄
I did radiotherapy before 3 years cause of bone Mets, since then I took Ibrance for 2,5 years and
Femara
. Before 3 months at my 6months scans and labs, we found new Mets in bones so my doctor decide to start chemo and a new pill 'Aromestan'.

When to take a pregnancy test
I am now 5 days late I have been taking
Femara
only 1 cycle so far. I don't feel any different only that my stomach feels tight and full having some small cramping, but nothing not even spotting. I have no nausea, or breast soreness I still eat the same. Would it be to early to have those symptoms?

Femara side-effects you are experiencing
What kind of side-effects are you having with
Femara
? I have severe brain damage from Exemestane that has taken away at least 50% of my balance.
