Nearly five years ago, at age 72, I was diagnosed with Stage IIIa bc .  Went through chemo and radiation.  Took Tamoxifen for 2 years, starting about a year after the diagnosis, and am now on Femara.

   My problem is, since the diagnosis I have suffered from profound, disabling fatigue.  I haven't complained--feel lucky to still be alive--however, these past few weeks it's been getting worse, to the point where I can hardly walk and am about to start using those little motorized carts to get around the grocery store.  My legs are like lead, and for me a long distance walk is from my bedroom to the kitchen.

   I also have been having not hot flashes but what could best be termed "the sweats" several times a day.  Also, thinning hair.
and in general, just feeling awful and unable lately to carry out my usual daily routine.

   Why question is,  has anybody else suffered similar symptoms?  Could it be the Femara?  My oncologist. says I should keep on taking it, for at least 5 years, so I have another year to go.  However, my quality of life is deteriorating to the point where I'm thinking it's not worth it and I should stop taking it.  But what if it's NOT the Femara?  My GP has been ordering various tests--blood (for thyroid), MRI, chest cat scan, but so far nothing's turned up.

   Any information or suggestions?  Thanks in advance.
