Flowergal,
I need to make a correction:
Exemestane half life is 24 hours.
Letrozole is 48.
I had been on Letrozole and switched to Exemestane Because Letrozole was crippling. I faired better on Exemestane with mobility and no joint pain etc.
My apoligies for my mistake.
Best.
I stopped taking letrozole one month ago and life has improved. On top of palpitations and foot neuropathy, It felt like ants were crawling on my neck several times a day. After a month, the feeling of ants crawling on my neck is gone, neuropathy is better and i hope palpitations will go away. I am 76 and if my life expentancy is 10-15 years I will take my chances. It would be a different decision if I was 55. A 76 year old body cannot take the onlaught of this terrible medicine.
