    After being dx with liver and bone mets last week I got the results of my liver bx. I am very, very estrogen + and will start on aromasin tomorrow. I will take it for 30 days and then see how it is working.

     I feel very relieved, and hope it works for a long time. I was on arimidex for 4+ years. So, although of course I was upset about the mets, I do feel encouraged!

    I am assuming that arimidex and aromasin have similar side effects??

    Hi Kirby....I'm certainly sorry about the mets, but glad to hear that thjey can be treated. I was on Arimidex for a brief period before switching to Aromasin, which I've now taken for 4 years. The side effects, at least for me, are the same. After 4 years though, they've pretty much faded. I still get some slight joint pain, but that could be for any number of reasons.

    Here's hoping that the Aromasin will totally do the trick!!!
