The side effects aren't as bad as Letrozole. Letrozole raised my blood sugars so high I had to stop. Faslodex does however make your pee smell hORRIBLE for at least 1 week afterward. It also has dried me up something terrible. Skin, vaginal, eyes, scalp and my sinuses. Right now my sinuses are so bad I have a headache, drippy nose, sinus pain.

Dr's have given me 2 rounds of antibiotics and they have now helped. Steam, nasal washes and nasal gels have done nothing. ENT visit next.

Iâ??ve researched this and canâ??t find any similarities. My onc tells me sheâ??s never heard that and everyone is different. The smell is very strong and even bed sheets need to be washed after each injection. I have a bit of soreness and stiffness accompanying my stink. After 3 days all side effects have run their course. Only time will tell how my cancer reacts , Iâ??m hoping for positive outcome. I also take 200 mg verzenio daily .

It has kept me NED for going on 6 yrs now. Bad things are that if you have a bad back, it will aggravate it. More frequent UTI's and bad fatique. It also causes painful scar tissue.

Faslodex saved my life. I was diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer in July of 2011. I was on a combination of Faslodex and Aromasin. After six years of great results, I had a bit of progression and replaced Aromasin with Ibrance. This week with be my 86th round of Faslodex. I don't have any side effects with it and the shots do not bother me at all. I don't know if I am just tough or that my nurses are just so good at the injections. I would like to thank AstraZeneca for this amazing drug. Because of it, I am here watching my grandchildren grow up, spending time with my children and enjoying life with my sweet husband.
