Gosh, I can understand why you don't want any more side effects. I too had a very small breast tumor appear in the opposite breast last year, but that was taken out with a lumpectomy and didn't require any chemo or radiation. 4 months ago I started on Anastrozole, but it increased my blood pressure too much, so she switched me to Letrozole. It's affecting my blood pressure very little, so will continue with it, hoping it shrinks the present tumor. The only side effect I have is a couple of hot flushes during the night that wake me up, but then I go right back to sleep. Not bothered by those during the day really. They say it may cause more bone thinning.....I already have osteroporosis at age 75, so may go on Zometa to reduce bone loss; not sure about whether I want to do that though.
