Hi everyone,

Who has experience with Faslodex long term?  Would be good to hear from someone in the same boat. 

After a recurrence with removal of a tumor in a lymph node on my chest wall and a second round of radiotherapy my oncologist recommended monthly Faslodex injections. I have been on them since June. No further spread was detected at the time. At first I experienced no adverse effects. But now I notice a drop in energy, the need to lie down and a kind of forlorn feeling. My blood tests have been fine so far and my first CT check up is in 2 weeks. I suppose I should be feeling positive but I am absolutely petrified. 

Any advice or comments appreciated.

Best regards, xx
