What Causes Nodules On Arm And Leg Post Withdrawal From Femara?

Hi, I m Nata and experiencing nodules on my arm and leg. I just got off Femera which is a breast cancer drug in August 1 which I took for 5 years. My Dr recently increased my thyroid medicine to 50MCG. Could this cause me getting nodules? The medicine I am on is levohroxine.

Hello,

You have developed these nodules since when? are these on the same side as your breast cancer? Skin nodules are not usually associated with thyroid medication.

If I were your treating doctor, first I would like to check these nodules in detail and rule out the relapse of cancer, occasionally breast cancer can return in the form of skin nodules, or it could be something else which might require a biopsy from one of the nodules. kindly show to your doctor and get it checked.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Jatin Bhatia, Radiation Oncologist
