That must have been terrible to happen on your holiday! My dr says raloxifine has a better record as far as bone loss goes, which is one of the reasons I am considering it. The other AI’s are known for causing osteoporosis. If you are on bisphosphonates and Anastrozole are you having side effects? I do worry about taking meds with the same or similar side effects. I take simvastatin as well and haven’t had a problem with it.

I’ve stopped both and am now on exemestane since July 2023 which I take every second day. I’m thinking of stopping it completely. I was on Anastrozole for 2 years and the damage is done to my back ftom this medication. But all my oestrogen must b gone by now. Certainly feels like it!! I might just take a rest from exemestane but haven’t decided yet. Exemestane works to keep oestrogen from coming back but a side effect is that it can damage the heart. If it’s not one thing it’s another🤣
