Hi, I also have ILC had a double lumpectomy, chemo 4 rounds, hypofractionated radiation for 5 days. Finished treatment June 2026. Was on Letrizol but joint muscle bone pain too intense. Moved to exemestane 2/20/26. By early to mid March had gas, soft stools that turned to liquid diarrhea and lots of stomach gargling with on and off nausea. I took Imodium this has helped see my dr tomorrow. I know these are side effects of this medication. But also have joint & muscle pain on this mostly in shoulders, shoulder blades and lower back. Others have similar experiences? Thank you!

Sorry finished treatment June 2025.

@warrior1usa sorry it is so difficult. I have been on exemestane for 3 years with no diarrhea but, lots of ongoing joint and muscle pain, mornings are the worst. As I am stage 4, I just hope that it is keeping me alive.
