Is it just me, or do others suffer with no help too?
I have completed 5yrs of exemestane tx and have been in pain everyday from it for almost the whole time. Why are Oncologist denying that I am in pain from my treatment, and denying that it can cause very severe neuropathy pain for a small number of people who had the therapy. Is there anyone else out there living with this severe pain like me? I want to cut my legs off daily. Please share your pain. Maybe a doctor somewhere out there might give a crap for once and step out of denial. This is not a figment of my imagination, and it certainly isn't arthritis. I hope all the Oncologist that deny this is happening to patients end up with having to go through this treatment themselves some day and I hope their pain is 10x's worse than my pain scale of 10 that I am living with daily. Oh wait... "it's a figment of my imagination." Never mind.... Idiots!!!!

Hi
That's tough for sure. Ra is brutal. You can't take your RA meds if you do AI ? I am confused
Sorry for the confusion. I can take the RA medicine (Humira) but I'm afraid because it increases your risk of cancer. I had breast cancer that had traveled into my lymph nodes. I've been cancer free for three years but I'm worried about resuming the biologic medication.
Thank you for your interest. Best wishes.🦋
