Hi Ladies, yes Aromasin has severe side effects, but I am keeping it my spirit, positive despite the severe debiliating pain. Two weeks ago I had right hand surgery for mild carpel tunnel, thumb/wrist tendonitis that burned and woke me up at night. I also have had three trigger fingers on my right hand. The surgery left me w/o the use of my right hand for over 2 weeks. Two more weeks of Occupational Therapy. Now my left hand is hurting due to overcompensating for lack of use of my right dominant hand. I know it is the Aromasin, b/c this started when I got off the Tamoxifen. But I chose to believe the benefits of prevention are worth it!!
Yes the risks and the side effects are severe for this med, but my Oncologist at MD Anderson Cancer center assures me that the side effects and risks do not outweigh the benefits, for post menopausal women. It is time for them to find the cure!!!!
I am a Nurse, so losing the use of my hands is not an option, however losing my life not only takes my hands out of the game, but also the Nurse, the Mother, the Sister, Friend, Mentor, Counselor etc....Lets all hand in there and TRUST GOD FIRST.....HE IS the Great Healer....

And also my sisters, REMOVE the word REMISSION from your vocabulary, it means its gone, but you EXPECT it to return.......
