Sounds excellent - let me know how your discussion goes. My friend won't even bring up the fact that her AI is making her irritable to her oncologist and ask if there might be a different AI she could try (in her mind there is nothing wrong - it's everyone else that is the problem - according to her husband)

I am a breast cancer survivor and it was estrogen positive. I was on tamoxifen and as some years went by, put on Aromasin. I was put on 25 mg of Effexor to control hot flashes when the tamoxifen put me into chemical menopause. The only side effect I noticed from Aromasin was from the very first pill until three months after I was taken off it 6.5 years later was that I would "urp" all night long after I went to bed--nothing ever came up, no acid, no food taste--just "urp," then "urp," etc. Side effect in the small print--dyspepsia. If there's a weird side effect to something, I get it.
Re your friend's irritability, perhaps it stems from menopause. She should look into supplements and AVOID EFFEXOR--https://www.thesleepdoctor.com/2018/02/20/natural-supplements-menopause-sleep/.
