    Thank you for raising this question on the boards--I'd been dithering whether to tell the oncologists my background (nothing severe! but definitely there) and this does confirm that I should at least ask. Just as it's not fair to ask simply "When can I return to normal activities?" when one of your normal activities is skydiving, it's not fair to NOT mention a medical issue, mental or physical, as soon as you realize it might become an issue or interfere with your treatment in some way.

    I take two different antidepressants and two antianxiety meds with my femara. I am 2 and 3/4 years into the femara. I know it is my best chance for survival but this is so hard. the doctors have no idea about anything but their own specialties.
