Elevated Liver Enzymes When Taking Exemestane

Been on exemestane for a little over a year and no problems with liver values, all still in the normal range. However, I have had increased kidney values last 2 samples starting about 7 months into the exemestane. Just watching for now and seems stable and even a little reduced. However, may have to switch to letrozole soon as I can’t go without sleep and that’s a major side effect for me. Will have to see if all normalizes once off the exemestane.

@mistymar I had a decrease in kidney function while taking exemestane but doctor doesn't seem concerned about that. Maybe it's because exemestane is more tolerable than Anastrazole so I need to stay on it, despite having high cholesterol and some weight gain.

I need to stay on it for 7 more years, which seems like forever.

@mistymar Thank you!
