I was just diagnosed with ALH. I see that you were to start on the aromatase inhibitor and I was wondering how that is going and which one you are taking. Assuming my MRI scheduled for this Wednesday is ok, my dr wants me to take arimidex for 5 yrs with frequent testing. I am kind of freaking out about this whole ordeal! Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I've been on Letrozole for 90+ days. I'm post-menopause.

I had moderate nausea (no vomiting) for about an hour after I took it for the first 3 or 4 weeks. Because of that, I started taking it right before I went to sleep, which helped me not notice the nausea. Now, I take it about an hour before bedtime; I have an alarm set so I never forget.

Other than that, smooth sailing, for which I'm incredibly grateful!

I will have my first follow-up mammograms in June. Fingers crossed (of course)!

Good luck to you! You will likely do just fine on the recommended treatment. 🙂
