Aromatase Inhibitors: How to choose and manage side effects?

My first oncology appointment is in 3 weeks but I wanted to get information from women who have been on different hormone blockers so I can make an educated decision about what, if any, blocker that might work best for me with little side affects. Thank you for your feedback.

From what I've seen, there is really no way to tell in advance which aromatase inhibitor will have the fewest side effects for you personally. Your oncologist will probably start off with the one best suited to fight your cancer. You can take it from there. I suggest trying it, and if it is intolerable, discuss again and try a different one. I think you have at least a fifty percent chance of doing ok with the first one. I was given letrozole 2 1/2 years ago and have had no side effects. My bone density remains normal. I went in with stage 3B kidney disease, and that is stable. Hope all goes well for you, and that you can go forward with ease.
