I totally agree with you. I took anastrazole for one year stopping for weeks at a time to relieve the side effects. they were too numerous to list. I started letrozole and although the side effects were different they were bad as well. I had tingling in feet, hands and neck, neurologist told me after many tests that it was not neuropathy, that it was the Letrozole. I stopped it.
this is a terrible medicine given to anyone between 50-100 years old, sort of one size fits all. This is very wrong. If I were 55 years old, perhaps it would be worth it but at 76 years old, it is a miserable way to live for the next 10-15 years. I wish they would do studies for different age groups and assess if this medicine is right for everyone. all the studies are done for younger patients. My body was different at 50, at 60 and at 70. Now that I am 76, my body does not compare to my younger body, so how can this medicine be right for me now . I am confident that I will die from something else and not my stage 1 breast cancer.
