Disclaimer first: I am 69 and am just 6 months in on my cancer journey.
I had extreme side effects and am concerned about heart and bone health from Letrozole so I reduced dose to every other day after reading a NIH study.
I also started working with a Functional Medicine Doc who is giving me testosterone pellets (that include an AI). He also gave me a DIM supplement to remove any estrogen metabolites. Testing 6 weeks out are good, and I feel almost normal again!

@karenschmitt hi Karen I had terrible joint pains afterletrozole prescribed in 2018. My breast cancer was caught early had 15 sessions of radiotherapy. I told my consultant I had no quality ty of life so stopped the drug. I have rheumatoid arthritis according to my rheumatologist be,cause, of the drug!!!!!!! Who knows if I would have got other.wise seems a coincidence. Hope you can make a good decision for you
@karenschmitt Those testosterone pellets sound veery interesting to me to help with bone health. Where did you find a Functional Medicine Doc who will do it?
