About to start herceptin and Letrozole, I had horrible bone pain and muscle pain with chemo.
I think I want to start exemestane instead of Letrozole? I am 74 years old, I think my oncologist will go along with my new plan. Cross your fingers. I want minimal side effects and certainly don't want to go through menopause again!! Horrible first time! Chemo was incredibly awful, with major joint paint and muscle pain still!!
Wish you luck! Keep posint everyone! It's good information.

Started Exemestane after horrible Anastrozole joint pain. On Exemestane every offer day until estrogen levels get tested and I am feeling pretty good. If ok, I am hoping to stay every other day.

Saw study where it didn’t make a lot of difference if every day or every other day.

I saw a study on this website.
