Has anyone else had experience with this drug? How long did it work? Went through Tamoxifen, Arimidex, and Aromasin. My oncologist says after Faslodex is chemo. Any thoughts would be appreciated Thanks. Janice L. Thu, 20 Nov 2003 00:00:00 GMT Janice, i just took Faslodex for 9 months with chemo also. I was just taken off it since it did not seem to be helping. I was also on Tamoxifin, Aromison, and Arimidex first. My oncologist felt it was worth trying but also felt if one estrogen inhibitor drug didn't work, probably none of them would, but we gave it a chance. I hope you do o.k. on it...Barb Barbara B.

How are you doing now? Are you still on chemo? Have been battling for 15 years and am feeling a bit fearful of what might be next. Thanks for your answer - it helps to know someone else is at this same place in our lives. Janice Janice L. Fri, 28 Nov 2003 00:00:00 GMT Wow, how strange, I was also fine for 15 years and then it came back. i am on chemo for the fifth time in 5 1/2 years. I hope this latest drug, Doxil will really help long term. I am really sick of all this but I know I need to keep trying to beat this rotten disease. I wish you all the best..Barb Barbara B.
