Exemestane and extreme fatigue

Hi! There doesn't seem to be much info about Paget's of the breast . I had a bilateral masectomy, one with Paget's and the other removed prophylactic. DCIS, nodes were clear.
I'm not convinced I want to take anastrozole. Too many side effects and does it outweigh any benefits. I'm 72 cancer free.
Any enlightenment on this topic?

I always like to encourage people to talk to your doctor about this. I took it for years and the side effects were manageable. Mostly related to the new lack of estrogen.
Many, thousands of women take this drug with very manageable side effects, but they are usually not the people posting here looking for support.
I would decide with my doctor if it makes sense, and not refuse to even try it based on someone else’s experience. You can always quit taking it if it does not continue to make sense to you, because this is your journey.😃
Have you met with medical oncology yet?
