@bjohnson511 to me it seems that any drug, or any dose of any drug, that is effective in reducing estrogen to below detectable levels, would have the same side effects. The letrozole insert does say that a 20% dose was effective. Rather than studying different, new drugs, I think it would be helpful to study the best dose, perhaps based on weight and age. But if effective, I would speculate that side effects will remain the same. Interested in hearing otherwise!

I wonder if I want to mess with less dose or alternate days. Kind of down on the whole thing right now. If I go off them and get my brain back - I don't think anyone can really predict the risks. I thought once surgery and radiation were over this would be past tense! (Sort of like thinking parenting stops when the kids move out!)
