@loridalton I was also diagnosed with PILC in June 2024. Had a single mastectomy (3 nodes with carcinoma), chemo, excision surgery to clear margins and radiation. I tried Letrozole for 2 months with carpal tunnel, insomnia and bone pain, tried Exemestane for 1 month with GI issues and have now been on Anastrozole for 9 months. I'm 67, have 3 trigger fingers, insomnia and recently depression, so I took a drug holiday for 2 weeks and feel GREAT. Totally back to myself again.
I don't want to start another AI, so I'll go back on Anastrozole at some point and do my best.

@brightlight66 I don’t know a thing about PILC but my oncologist suggested starting with an every other day dosage to begin Anastrozole. I didn’t, I jumped in at every night and am not having any problems. I just turned 69 and my cancer was DCIS. My pharmist also said it was the one best tolerated by most.
