@triciaot I started treatment with anastrozole at age 65. After 8 difficult months of insomnia and restless leg syndrome, I switched to exemestane (sp?). After 1 week, I quit that due to waking up one morning with crazy flushing in my face. I’ve been on 10 mg of tamoxifen since. I’m quitting that 7 months early because I’ve noticed over the years a steady increase in my A1C and triglycerides. Apparently, from what I’ve read in authoritative sources, there is a connection between tamoxifen and diabetes. I’m not in a medical field. This just feels like one “ other thing they don’t tell you”.
