Hi, My name is Robin and I had breast cancer in 2002 estrogen positive.I chose to have a lumpectomy  and was put on tomoxifen. I have arthritis and it caused lots of bone and muscle pain.MY Dr. tried me on several of the aromatase inhibitors and all did the same. I HAD A REOCURENCE in 11/2006 again doing chemo and double masectomy. 

 She suggested I try Faslodex which is given in a shot once a month.  For me the effects are about the same but I figure it is because of arthritis and age 54.  I was just curious to see if any one else is using this drug.  I have been on this drug for a year and 1 month so I hope it keeps everything stopped in its tracks.

Thanks onebadboob for directing me on posting this info . I AM learning lots from you women and I feel so connected to others who experience this bad disease.
