Will femara wreak flu close to symptoms next to frenzy, nausea, diarrhea, ache and pains?
My mother was on arimidex , but because of the side effects couldn't take it, switched to femara. Has been on it about 2 weeks and is in a minute having these symtoms. Any advice?
Muscle and joint aches are relatively common on these drugs (class = aromatase inhibitors). Examples are letrozole (Femara), anastrozole (Arimidex) and exemestane (Aromasin). Fevers are not so common; I do have some patients complain about nausea, but MANY complain roughly speaking aches. Sometimes they are intolerable, other times minor. Occasionally they will get better with time.
Assuming she has breast cacner, the issue become is it worth the side effects to get the benefit. If her risk is high for recurrence, or if she already has metastatic disease, it may be worth it to stay on treatment. If low risk consequently maybe not. Tamoxifen is an acceptable alternative if she is on these drugs after curative intent surgery (so called adjuvant therapy)- it is not quite as obedient as these others but nearly so. It does not cause so much in the way of aches, but is associated near higher risk of blood clots and also for uterine cancer in postmenopausal women (though risks in both cases are extremely low). If she has metastatic disease, she have another option called Faslodex (a shot).
She should discuss this with her oncologist.
