Hi ! I was also a Hygienist👍 started on letrozole first, first month was OK after that awful, total of three months went off taking a break for two months started on exemestane same thing happened but worse felt horrible. Debating to go on any at all. I did read a couple girls took the exemestane every other day or three times a week and felt fine. I may give that a shot. It’s not worth feeling crappy to me all the time, my breast cancer was very minimal. All my test have been clear coming back. Praise God! radiologist told me very few people can tolerate these pill. My oncologist who wrote the script (don’t really care for him) has never heard of anybody taking it every other day or three times a week. I don’t believe him.. he is the type of doctor that it’s his way or no way. I would love to try an Acupuncturist, but I don’t know of any. I am in South Florida. I guess I should do some digging around. I do have severe carpal tunnel now Because of these drugs, had to see a hand surgeon, there’s a physical therapist in her office, but she does not feel physical therapy will help me much. I’m hoping to find an acupuncturist. I don’t know who goes to any to ask but I know it can’t Hurt. Praying you feel better soon

Im sorry to hear about your hands, I have also noticed similar traits with my doctor, she has a very cold personality which I understand to a point but at the same time out treatment does not stop once the active cancer is out I’ve our body and I feel they might forget that part. I have definitely been struggling with being able see my full schedule of patients due to my back, my hands are stiff and what scares me is that’s how my back started. I only went back to work last week so my hand can easily get worse very quickly, I’m going to look into the acupuncture and every other day for the pill like you had suggested and see if those are some options for me. I’m only 37, I can’t keep doing this for 5-10years and attempting to work in hygiene it just isn’t realistic. Please let me know your doing and if you find anything solutions. Best of luck with your hands💜
