I contemplated it but I have been on letrozole since April, 2025. My oncologist really prefers this drug for ILC so I have been working through joint pain. The more I move the better I am. I do stretching and breathing and light yoga every day and I lift weights three times a week and walk and ride my indoor bike sometimes outdoors. I have had more issues with being so tired from not having estrogen. I know other women have switched drugs and have had similar issues since they all deplete estrogen. I think it is worth a try but personally motion is lotion for me and movement seems to help the joint pain. Best of luck to you.

@wews i’ve been on Letrozole for seven months the last of the three AIs started January 23, 2023 I do PT and Chiropractic and manipulation three times a week. I walk between 10 and 15,000 steps a day and that includes weights. I belong to a JIM and I try to walk through everything fuss at the same time, my parents are in there 80s going on 90 and I helped out with them the same time.

@wews Thank you for taking the time to respond. ILC can be so tricky. Take good care and be well.
