Wews: I have not yet shared this with my oncologist doc or PA (I actually have seen my PA more often than my doctor). I'm grateful to dlardin for making us aware of this study. I may mention it at my next visit, but have so many other questions to ask I may not get to it at my next appointment. If my symptoms were more serious now, though, I would definitely make this a priority discussion. Perhaps others will mention if they've discussed this with their oncologists.

I'm keeping this study handy as reference and plan to mention it at some point.

I hope your joint pain improves or at least stays manageable. As for your oncologist saying all AI drugs have the same side effects, that may or may not be true. I know many women on this discussion site have reported that their experience CAN vary with different AIs. Some have even rotated back and forth a bit between two AIs.

Sending positive healing thoughts your way.

Thanks so much for your insight and thoughts. I am praying the symptoms subside. The hair loss and joint paint in particular is troubling. I am trying to stay positive. I have 4 1/2 more years to be on this medication and it would be great if I can do it without suffering side effects the whole time. I had no idea that taking an AI would be so challenging. I know I am blessed not having to have chemo but I guess no breast cancer treatment is without issues. Sending positive thoughts your way too.
