Eight letters, four syllables, pronounced just the way it looks. A-rom-a-sin.
What is it, you ask?
Aromasin is a hormonal therapy for women who have had estrogen-receptor positive early stage breast cancer and have gone through menopause. That would be me. Artomasin officially became part of my life this evening. It's Day One of our five-year relationship.
Yea, five years, assuming I can tolerate the side effects. Check out the percent of women who complained about:
Hot flashes: 21.2%
Fatigue: 16.1%
Joint pain 14.6%
Headache 13.1%
Insomnia 12.4%
Increased sweating: 11.8%
Interesting. Fatigue and insomnia. Hot flashes and increased sweating.
Personally, I'm psyched to see what happens. Not.
