Armidex

Can I ask if anyone has been on this medication.  I have been taking for 2 years , but i am suddenly starting to get all the side effects - ie aching bones & joints . I feel like an 80 year old in a 56 year old body .  I feel tired all the time & just don't feel myself anymore. I know I will need to speak to my specialist in regards to this & find out the alternatives, but I was just wondering if anyone else was using this particular medication ?

Re: Armidex

Hi @Sue211,

I'm not on this drug & I don't know anythingabout it, but I just wanted to say that instead of finding an alternative chemo, is it possible to be prescribed medication (eg; painkillers for the aches & pains), especially if this particular chemo is working for you? Or maybe reducing the dosage, as sometimes that can be effective.
Anyway, I wish you all the best in your recovery.
