I am 53 year old and a year ago I was diagnosed with duct carcinoma breast cancer, went through surgery and radiation and was on tomoxifen and now they put me on femara due to the fact that I had a hysterectomy in May 2011. Besides taking vitamins and calcium these are the only medicine but when I go to sleep I fall asleep fast and then about an hour or two I jump out of bed and feel like something is wrong. I usually walk to the bathroom and then go back to bed and usually I fall asleep right a way or within a few minutes. Sometimes I sleep the rest of the night but sometime it comes back again within a few hours. What should I do.

The treatment that you have undertaken appears to be scientifically correct and you need not worry about it. Also, none of the drugs that you have taken cause the symptoms that you have. It is probably a result of insomnia due to the stress of the disease and the treatment that has its toll on the mind. It is best you take a sedative at bed time for a few weeks. Meanwhile try to occupy your mind with activities during the day. Join a meditation group. Dont sleep during the day. Eat at least 1 hour before bedtime.
