Hi
I do take cbd/cbn oil which is for sleep and helps my fibromyalgia and pain. The aromatase inhibitors also cause osteoporosis bladder issues liver issues . I know a lady on one of them. She's been on it 4 years now. Her rib cage is collapsing, Her hips have horrible Osteoporosis caused by the drug.
I already have osteopenia and osteoporosis in my spine with a compression fracture, plus tinnitus from going off hrt which helped it alot. So no my oncologist agreed not worth the risk. I am praying raduation and my surgeries are enough.

@sue417 I had osteoporosis, pretty severe, and 3 spinal fractures when I went on letrozole. Most patients also go on Reclast but my doctor did not want to do that due to my afib (a risk that has since been debunked). I did letrozole for 5 years. Then Tymlos restored my bone density to a level better than before cancer treatment.
Some people with osteoporosis do tamoxifen, which doesn't affect bones and SERMS like that may help to maintain density at least.
I wonder why your friend's rib cage is collapsing on an aromatase inhibitor. Is she not on Reclast?
Tinnitus comes from the brain. I wonder why HRT helped. I am curious. I thought I would go crazy with new tinnitus a few years ago but my brain had adapted. Hope that helps you too.
