She has been on arimidex since May 09 and is now daily vomiting {dry heaves} and is losing wt. She has no appetite and is tired all the time. I'm wondering if she is just sick with something else or if this is from the ca. She sees her onc. on the 12th.
Thank you for any help.

Hi Carol - This could be from the cancer, esp. if it's been going on for awhile; a simple stomach flu would disappear quickly. PLEASE have her call her oncologist ASAP; there's no reason she should be going through this, when there are probably drugs to help. Good luck - PJH
