I have to make a decision as to whether to start these injections, but can find no up to date posts. Is anybody else on these,and what are the side effects.

Hiya max
If you type in faslodex on the search box …there is a lot of historic postings and threads that might help.
To be honest I haven’t seen much recently posted about this as I think I remember reading somewhere its a lot more expensive than the other hormones so you are one of the elite getting it !!
Hi , I have had two lots of this treatment , fine , injections , no pain at all, Only side effect I have is when I need to go to the loo , I have to go , no messing , I go . I have also entered into a trial , tablets for four days , can I just advise if your asked to enter a trial, get every single detail before hand. For mine I take tabs over the weekend Friday to Monday , but I have to fast before and after taking pills , Which makes having meals on time a bit of a pain, and eating out ,is limited, have to be fed and watered by 6 pm , then nothing until after 9, Bit early.
Another side effect is high glucose , so need to keep a close eye on that to. Will keep with it but just thought I would let you know , I just thought I would be popping a couple of tablets .
keep well xx
Truffle stuff, are you still on fulvestrant?
