I'm post single mastectomy stage 1 breast cancer. I been having one he'll of a time managing these awful side effects from, arimidex to exemestane and femara. Migraines, tendonitis, muscle spasms, joint pain, edema, nausea. My oncologist acts like this treatment is not a big deal and I'm one of the rare people who cannot tolerate these treatments. Anyonelse? I feel alone.

@missshe How are you doing? Are you still going through treatment?

Good advisor

Hi everyone,

How are you doing? emoticon cute

Did you experience any side effects along with your cancer treatment? What type did you have? How did you cope with it?

Everything else has been destroyed, it didn’t take the cancer out but it sure did kill everything else! If I would have only known!!!

I am currently going through chemo infusion (paclitaxel and carboplatin). I have been through two cycles and 4 more cycles to go. I didn’t get sick the first cycle but it did hit me with all the side effects in second cycle. Can someone tell me if it will be even worse side effects each cycle or about the same?
