I have been asking about this for a while.. I said to my oncologist., since aromataise which comes from fat is creating estrogen is it not feasible that I lose weight first? He suggested I try Ozempic for weight loss while I also try inhibitors. But I'm all for the weight loss minus inhibitors as I don't want to gain any weight . My friend has 2 aunts in Georgia whose doctors have also them on ozempic post cancer treatments.. Thank you for the link to Baylor.. I did sign up as I meet criteria so will see.

@prc73 I'm in the same boat.. ER/PR+/HER2-, stage 1 grade 3 IDC, 57 and already having menopause symptoms like hot flashes, anxiety and terrible insomnia. I had a lumpectomy & reduction, and start radiation in Jan, but I really want to avoid letrozole if at all possible. I have friends on it who tell me the joint pain is awful, besides the weight gain and high cholesterol. I'm getting a second opinion from a new oncologist tomorrow to ask about other ways to reduce estrogen in my system. 🙏
