I am only on letrozole today and acyclovir that I have from my bone marrow transplant nearly 2 years ago. I have mild neuropathy in my fingers. Just right now i realize i had it worse in my feet, feeling like i had socks on all the time. I do not feel that right now. I have heard others share on exemestane and anastrozole, but few are on letrozole, also known as Femara. Not sure why so many medical teams suggest the other. I have weak nails and that may be femara as stopping estrogen does not bode well for skin and nail health.

@katgob Thank you for your answer. All the three AIs have side effects. That is why I don't want to change to another one unless I can not stand the severe side effect. You are doing well. Again, Hang in there, you have not even 2 years to go. After stop the drug I was told the side effect will go away slowly. You can see the light in a deep cave now. Congrats! you made it!!
