hi Tricia  this is the reply I had from Novartis the makers of Femara. I suggest if your pharmacy can’t or won’t supply you get a prescription and take it somewhere that can get it. You have every right to to do that. show this reply to your pharmacy or contact the number at the bottom if you have problems.  best of luck Gailey   ... View more

I am in a private villa with loads of shade too if I need it.  ... View more

Happy Birthday Mcnulcc, glad that alls well and that you are off for birthday celebrations xxxx Re tattoos-Glad to say not an issue here. The one on my chest is about the size of the nib of a ball point pen and looks like a faded freckle.

Hi runawaygirl248    I was worried about the breathing technique too.  If you have a look at the radiotherapy section on the cancer research website it talks about the breathing technique. You need to be able to hold your breath for about 17 seconds, so it’s worth practising a bit beforehand. I can just about manage it but it was useful to practice in advance. I’ve got through 9 of 20 sessions, so far but I shall be glad when it’s all over!    Best wishes for your treatment F ... View more
